Abstract
The evaluation and treatment of a 40 year old man with a diagnosis of Munchausen syndrome with accompanying dysarthria is described. The patient responded to symptomatic behavioural therapy similar to that for other functional speech and voice disorders. The speech pathologist may serve an important role in the management of such cases. 1986 Royal College of Speech & Language Therapists
