Myndtalk With Dr. Pamela Brewer

Dr. Marc Feldman describes people’s motivations to fabricate or induce illness or injury to satisfy deep emotional needs. Doctors, family members, and friends are lured into a costly, frustrating, and potentially deadly web of deceit. From the mother who shaves her child’s head and tells her community he has cancer, to the co-worker who suffers from a string of incomprehensible "tragedies," "disease forgery" is ever-present in the media and in many people’s lives.
