Abstract

This article presents a case of self-induced diseases (Munchausen syndrome), among them a very dangerous cardiac condition. The psychotherapeutic process is described, through which the Munchausen behavior was effectively abolished. It is suggested that Munchausen syndrome may be a suicidal equivalent.
