Acute 'My Therapist Said' Ventriloquism is an acute behavioral condition cataloged by the Institute. It is not recognized by the DSM-5, the ICD-11, or any existing diagnostic framework — and will not be, because it is not a real condition. It is, however, observed in the population with alarming frequency.
In the Institute's formal nomenclature, this condition is catalogued under the Latin binomial Attributio terapeuticus excessiva — a name not recognized by any medical authority but observed repeatedly in the catalog.
