The perpetrators are notoriously difficult to work with, and many pediatricians, child psychiatrists, and other professionals have major problems dealing with the condition. The aim of this book is to provide a practical approach to a difficult problem. It largely succeeds in this aim and is therefore welcome. Many pediatricians and child psychiatrists working in the field believe that Munchausen syndrome by proxy is a term that is emotive and not necessarily accurate. This

Of course, these would never have been performed if the patient had not tried to fabricate them. However, the most notorious patients have often had dozens of surgical procedures for factitious (false) symptoms. Thus, this is a form of self-mutilation. Munchausen's Syndrome by Proxy (MSP) is a parenting disorder where parents, usually the mother, fabricate symptoms in their children, thus subjecting the child to unnecessary medical tests and/or surgical procedures. In some cases, the parents also inflict injury and can kill their children in the process. MSP is not rare in Apnea Programs. Apnea is the perfect disorder for MSP, because infants appear normal between episodes. Therefore, a parent can bring her baby to a medical facility, fabricate a history of an apparent life threatening event, and the baby will be admitted, many tests performed, sometimes even surgery (such as tracheostomomies) are performed. MSP parents can be quite good at this, often switching from doctor to doctor so that it is difficult for one individual to put it all together. There have been documented cases of MSP in apnea clinics. However, these are much rare than "true" infant apnea.

Munchausen by Proxy Syndrome Munchausen by proxy syndrome (MBPS) is one of the most harmful forms of child abuse. It is also perplexing. MBPS involves an apparent deeply caring mother who repeatedly fabricates symptoms or provokes actual illnesses in her helpless infant or child. MBPS was first described in 1977 by Meadow; since then more than 200 MBPS related articles have appeared, the majority being case descriptions. Understanding the dynamics of this disorder is of utmost importance because growing evidence indicates that it is more common than previously believed and it is devastating if not fatal for the children and infants. It is also important to mention the effects MBPS has on others who become involved in this cases, particularly nurses and physicians. Maybe the most important aspect of this syndrome is the immense ability of the mother to fool doctors and the susceptibility of physicians to her manipulations. The hospital, which is the most common setting for MBPS cases, is where as much as 75% of the MBPS-related morbidity occurs as a consequence of attempts by physicians to diagnose and treat the affected child or infant. More than 98% of MBPS cases involve female perpetrators. Even the most experienced pediatricians often miss evident clues left by these mothers. Although there are many case reports of MBPS, no population-based prevalence data exist. The average length of time to establish a diagnosis of MBPS generally exceeds 6 months; often a sibling has died of undiagnosed causes before the MBPS is uncovered. Jani et al found that during a 2-year period nearly 50% of patients discharged against medical advice satisfied at least three of six characteristics of MBPS.

Programmes Last Updated: Wednesday, 3 March, 2004, 10:10 GMT E-mail this to a friend Printable version Munchausen's Syndrome by Proxy Symptoms may not be real The term Munchausen's Syndrome by Proxy was first coined by paediatrician Professor Sir Roy Meadow, whose evidence has been challenged in several high profile cot death cases. It is a highly controversial condition, which some doubt even exists. What is Munchausen's Syndrome by Proxy (MSbP)? MSbP is parenting disorder that comes in two forms. The children of people with MSbP will either have a fabricated illness or an induced illness. In fact, both the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health and the Department of Health now use the term FII for the condition rather than MSbP. Fabricated illness involves a parent claiming that their child is ill, when they have actually made up the symptoms. This can involve a high degree of deception. For instance, a parent may claim that their child has passed blood in its urine, and will present samples suggesting this is the case. However, following tests, it will become apparent that the parent has actually pricked their own finger and dropped blood into the sample.

Two main areas are covered, which will be of particular interest: new directions in research, and treatment of the perpetrator in and outside the family. The book also considers the ethical and legal issues raised by this problematic behaviour, which involves many different types of professionals and has a heavy cost not only for services but also for victims and perpetrators. Unlike other books, this volume provides a multidisciplinary perspective, with input from social workers, paediatricians, child-psychiatrists and lawyers, among others. It also offers an international perspective, with contributors from the USA, Canada and Australia.

MUNCHAUSEN'S SYNDROME BY PROXY By: Christina Johns Cynthia Lyda, a San Antonio woman accused of child abuse, could face as much as 212 years in prison if she is convicted of all the charges against her. Part of her defense, however, is that she suffers from an increasingly well-known psychiatric disorder called Munchausen's Syndrome by Proxy (MSP). Experts say that this is one of the least understood forms of child abuse and least understood forms of mental illness. MSP is a psychiatric disorder which involves caregivers intentionally harming children so that they can bask in the attention they receive for their own caregiving. The actual incidence of MSP is difficult to determine. There is a good possibility that there is a lot more of it than we know about. Numerous cases once considered to be caused by Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), for example, have recently been determined to be caused by caregivers with MSP. But, there is also the possibility of over reporting, especially with the increased media attention being given to MSP. There are women who say they have been unfairly accused of MSP who have created an organization to call attention to the incidence of false accusations. They claim that it is all too easy for frustrated doctors who can't find the cause of their child's disease, or who wanted to avoid malpractice suits, to throw around the MSP accusation, with virtually no liability. The traditional position by most health practitioners is that successful treatment is rare.
