Abstract

A paleodigm is a formulation of ancient folk wisdom that encodes a causal explanation in a saying or story that penetrates the idiom of everyday language and influences behavior. Although paleodigms are not, per se, causative, they have diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic significance in syndromes like Munchausen's syndrome by proxy.
