Recent complex and challenging patients have highlighted a need for greater understanding of fabricated or induced illness (FII), which falls within the wider spectrum of emotional abuse. This one day master class delivered by Dr Danya Glaser aims to help practitioners identify and make sense of FII.
Dr Danya Glaser is a Visiting Professor at UCL and honorary consultant child & adolescent psychiatrist at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children, London. She is currently working on the early recognition of fabricated or induced illness.
Previously a developmental paediatrician, at Great Ormond Street Hospital she was named doctor for child protection and for many years headed an integrated child protection service working respectively with the identification and treatment of emotional abuse; providing multidisciplinary assessments for Children Act proceedings as an expert witness and a post protection team working with children who have been seriously maltreated and their current, often new carers.
She was a member of the Family Justice Council for 6 years and chaired the Development Group for the NICE Guideline ‘When to Suspect Child Maltreatment’ (Clinical Guideline No. 89, December 2009). Dr Glaser has taught, researched and written widely on various aspects of child maltreatment including sexual and emotional abuse, fabricated or induced illness; and the effects of child maltreatment on the developing brain.
This course is targeted at practitioners working directly with children and families. Priority will be offered to health, education, police and social care professionals with child protection responsibilities.
