The other face of illness-deception: Diagnostic criteria for factitious disorder with proposed standards for clinical practice and research.

Conclusions: Evidence for FD, a form of illness-deception, can be obtained by using validity testing, which, together with careful clinical observation, allows for the development of probabilistic diagnostic criteria. Similar to the other form of illness-deception - malingering - these criteria can be used to form known groups for research. PMID: 31535601 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
