    What I was looking for were some real conference papers, because I was down a rabbit hole for no particular reason, and happened across this.

    I've just looked at the contents page of that document. I think I could summarise the apparent beliefs of the authors as "Patients are lying, lazy, thieving scum."

    Pilowsky (1985) coined the term ‘malingerophobia’—to describe the
    irrational and maladaptive fear of being tricked into providing health care to individuals who
    masquerade as sick
    , but either have no illness at all, or have a much less severe one than they
    claim’. Coincidently, it is interesting to note that the most popular course run by the Amer-
    ican Psychiatric Association every year involves the detection of malingered mental illness
    (Wessely 1995).

    Maybe we should design some CBT for malingeraphobia

    So there does not have to be incentives to illness just "potential" incentives for them to assume there is a conscious (and rational!) decision to malinger. That will be a benefit worth a pittance compared to salary in a job you have struggled to get.

    I loved the tag that @Haveyoutriedyoga applied to this thread. I'll probably add a few more tags, but I thought it was worth immortalising in its succinct glory:

    Section 2, item 4 also had me snorting out loud.
