MALINGERING
Ìý
Malingering is not a medical or psychiatric disorder but, from a military point of view, it is punishable under the Articles of War. However it is usually difficult, if not impossible, to provide unassailable proof of guilt and nowadays it's used mainly in an attempt to de-fraud insurance companies.

Peter Halligan, Professor of Neuropsychology at Cardiff University, explains to Raj Persaud how neuropsychologists try to detect a malingerer.
