Marc D. Feldman

Marc D. Feldman is a clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of Alabama and one of the world's leading authorities on factitious disorders and medical deception. His book Playing Sick? examines the phenomenon of people who fake or induce illness for psychological reasons, including Munchausen syndrome and Munchausen by proxy. Feldman draws on decades of clinical experience and research to explore the motivations, methods, and devastating consequences of medical deception. His writing is authoritative, compassionate, and eye-opening. Available as an audiobook and in print, Playing Sick? appeals to readers and listeners interested in psychology, medicine, and the complex human behaviours that challenge our understanding of truth and illness.
