Mother was a Psychopath

Female psychopaths are rarely diagnosed. If they have children, they tend to exert total control, violently and manipulatively, although outside the family they appear normal.

The author explains the dissociative quality of the mother-daughter relation: one idealised; one terrorising. She illustrates how her brother carried the symptoms: anxious, ob...

What we often fail to appreciate, however is that sometimes the lack of improvement can be explained by the patients' psychological states. The first section of Functional Symptoms in Pediatric Disease: A Clinical Guide teaches children's health care providers to recognize functional symptoms that can complicate organic disease as well as symptoms that are believed to be purely functional in origin. Literature reviews, case studies and quizzes are provided in each chapter, with video demonstrations incl...
