  :Whoa...... (audible sharp intake of breath)  Interesting read. On first reading, I think you've done a good job and everything meaning what it is supposed to mean etc. What sprung to my mind upon reading is the tricky distinction between malingering and factitious disorder, which can be harder at times to judge 'by remote' as it were (especially when terms like 'taking advantage of' are used, which leads me to thinking about anitsocial personalities. Truth be told, there is alot of overlap and grey in DSM IV, and I can see this holds true for the two bluelinked terms above. Still, I am rambling a bit as this makes me more think in psychiatrist mode than wikipedian mode, where one has to stick to the sources in terms of speculation. (scratches chin in wise manner) I have to think about this some more. Some more critique or opposing points of view may be good - if any discussions mention analysing or excluding malingering that would be good. More later (only up now, 'cos I couldn't sleep...)   ·
