The primary treatment for factitious disorder is psychotherapy, including psychoanalytic therapy or psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy and family therapy.
Co-morbid psychiatric disorders should be recognised and treated.
In factious disorder imposed on another, treatment is similar to those in factitious disorder, with the added concern about the safety of the potential victim.
- Management often necessitates a team that comprises not only healthcare providers but also social services, foster care (when children are involved), law enforcers, professional regulatory bodies, and child welfare organisations.
