You are the C-L registrar. A medical team says a 52-year-old with multi-system symptoms and normal work-ups has ‘abnormal illness behaviour — please section them or take them to psych.’ Defend definitions (Parsons, Mechanic, Pilowsky), classification axes, DSM mapping, assessment including IBQ concept and risk, differential from FND/factitious/malingering, and a non-dualistic management plan including when detention is and is not appropriate.
