Extracted data focused on terminology of a spectrum of behaviours, clinical features and psychopathology of perpetrators.ResultsThere has been difficulty with the use of terminology and classification of psychiatric disorders.ConclusionsThe spectrum of FIP is wide. Suggestions are made for the use of terminology and classification when FIP is identified.
