Who the fuck is Philip Coon?
“A 25-year-old woman was hospitalized after threatening suicide. She alleged that she had been the victim ofritual Satanic abuse. A careful evaluation including history-taking, clinical observation, request
for collateral information, and psychological testing not only failed to corroborate her story, but pointed instead to a diagnosis of
factitious disorder ofthe Munchausen type.
Although extreme abuse by Satanic cult members may exist (Fraser, 1990; Van Benschoten, 1990; Young, Braun, Sachs, & Watkins, in press), the clinical picture in this case is more compatible with a diagnosis offactitious disorder.”
