Abstract
Three cases of Ganser Syndrome are presented, including reports of a psychological examination given one patient. In the cases presented, the syndrome is described in connection with a restricting but protective life situation which is perceived by the patient as being preferable to the hazards of freedom. Acute symptoms were here precipitated, contrary to former reports, by the threat of expulsion from the first type of environment into the second.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
