Here's a link to a thought-provoking article by Marc D. Feldman, MD, called "Munchausen by Internet: Detecting Factitious Illness and Crisis on the Internet."
http://www.sma.org/smj2000/julysmj00/feldman.pdf
Although there may have been other instances, Dr. Feldman's profile (see Tables 1 and 2) fits only one person I can think of during the past four years here, and it fits uncannily well.
However, Matt wrote:
"The concept of this forum is fantastic, but in a few short weeks I have come to recognize numerous individuals who would appear to be suffering from MÜNCHAUSEN'S SYNDROME..."
*Numerous* individuals?
Matt also wrote:
"I also would like to do the same -- to evaluate the true potential of impersonal, undirected, and anonymous group 'therapy.'"
How would you evaluate that?
And finally, what does any of this have to do with "analysis of the occult"?
Thanks for your consideration,
Mark H.
