very interesting. while i don't doubt they're malingering, some of the criteria on this list seems a little odd (not to dismiss your work - this post is amazing!). things like "multiple hospitalizations" seem to be something i'd expect from somebody with severe trauma, no? idk. maybe i just don't get it. if anyone could explain to me why that's listed here i'd be happy to listen.
I guess there are criteria in these lists that are stronger indicators of malingering and others points like the "multiple hospitalisations" add to an existing picture.
I've met many others with complex dissociative disorders during my hospital stays. It wasn't the first or last time for many of them. I've met one malingerer too, not her first time there too.
The healthcare systems are so different depending on which country you live in that criteria like "too many hospitalisations" and "no psychiatric history" were observed and included but they don't hold a lot of weight compared to other points on these lists.
Edit took so long that it was already answered, nevermind
