Abstract

Menninger discusses malingering of the self-mutilative type. Here the aggression is frank. The most important psychological elements are the wish to suffer by injuring one's self, the wish to conceal and the wish to cause pain and embarrassment in others. This last includes the physician, and frequently succeeds in provoking him to retaliate. Thus the patient is doubly punished. Several case histories are presented.
