Abstract
A family is described in which a woman, probably in a state of ''hysterical conversion'', produced factitious lesions in her own skin (dermatitis artefacta) and in the skin of 2 sons (child abuse). Non-accidental injury to a child''s skin may form part of a spectrum of skin artefacts in the parent.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
