Review
"As part of the Clinical Practice Series, this volume on factitious disorders strives to provide current, factual, and theoretical material of interest; a practical clinical approach; up-to-date literature reviews; and the most recent treatment methods. "The Spectrum of Factitious Disorders" succeeds in nearly all of these goals, and is probably the best book for clinicians on the subject.... This is a useful and important book by some of the leading authorities in the field. It represent s the existing literature well.... I have used "The Spectrum of Factitious Disorders" as a reference on a number of occasions already, and I assume this volume will remain a primary resource for clinicians for some time."- "General Hospital Psychiatry"
