Factitious disorder is a difficult diagnosis to make and it would have been intersting to read about the psychiatric evaluation and the conclusions thereof about factitious diorder. Could the authors shed some light on the psychiatric assessment and treatment??</p> Maneesh Gupta 2008-07-01T00:00:00Z
