Il simulatore vorrebbe ingannare il medico (secondo Galeno e altre fonti)

Danielle Gourevitch

Abstract:

In the ancient land of make-believe, the doctor has an important part to play whenever the 'patient' wants to fake a disease and tries to dupe him. For the Roman period, Galen (129-about 216) is an important witness; his testimony fits well what we know of Roman law and what modern psychiatry describes (personality, social position, motives, response to treatment, etc.).
