Abstract:
Thesis (M.S.)--Boston University
Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy (MSBP) is a term given to a situation which presents criteria for both Pediatric Condition Falsification (PCF) and factitious disorder by proxy (FDP). According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-IV text revision (DSM-IV-TR), in child abuse cases where FDP is a result of PCF, then the nomenclature, MSBP, can be used interchangeably to describe such an event. Currently, in a situation that is diagnosed as Factitious Disorder by Proxy, the perpetrator of such an event is diagnosed as having Factitious Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (FD-NOS). An obvious issue stemming from this is the confusion over what should be diagnosed and remedied, i.e., the situation, the perpetrator, and/or the victim. Due to the convoluted and often controversial definition of such an event, as well as the criteria for diagnosis, it is proposed here that a new definition be adopted to explain this form of child abuse. With this novel definition, the symptoms of this psychological disorder of the perpetrator are observed in the victim. Under this new definition, the psychiatric term "Factitious Disorder by Proxy" would be used as a mental diagnosis of the caregiver, wherein the symptoms manifest in that of the victim. Additionally, an addendum to the type of symptoms exhibited in the child is proposed to include that of the exacerbation of symptoms in children with valid pre-existing conditions. An extensive literature review was performed to support the proposal for changing the criteria and diagnosis of FDP in the DSM. The implications of this change would greatly benefit not only the psychiatric, medical, and legal realm, but the forensic community as well.

Abstract:
Munchausen By Proxy Syndrome is a form of child abuse whereby parents induce symptoms of real illness, or falsely report symptoms, to initiate medical treatment for their children. Following a review of the literature with respect to case management, the author presents for study a case followed from initial suspicion to resolution two years later. The management of this case is compared to what the literature would suggest is the ideal practice. Areas of weakness are found to be the average social worker's lack of knowledge about the syndrome, due to its rarity, agency unpreparedness to deal with a case, over-reliance upon medical opinion and a lack of advice as to the long term likelihood of family reunification. Recommendations are made for the field of social work, child protection in particular.

Abstract:
This thesis will demonstrate how Munchausen Syndrome and, by derivation Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy, grew out of historical themes of assigning disease labels to anomalous or problematic behaviour, replicating issues of gender, particularly in respect of illness and madness and power biases, in society. The literature review will demonstrate how the early case notifications provided 'a Munchausen narrative', which came both to construct and to pathologise, first patients and later women, as mothers. It is argued that psychiatric models account for few cases of child abuse. A more coherent theory allows child abuse and, therefore, Msbp to be understood within a framework, which takes account of past and present ecological influences on the development of individual experience, characteristics and competency, and importantly, the meaning of a child within the life-cycle of that individual. The research, in this thesis, was designed to provide an estimate of the incidence of Msbp in Scotland. While it confirmed die findings of earlier studies diat illness induction and fabrication are rare events, it demonstrated a range of manifestations of abnormal behaviour among parents, in presenting their children to doctors, which were recognisable as being abusive and which often overlapped other forms of child maltreatment and neglect. It became apparent that the connotations of the title Msbp, particularly in relation to its psychodynamic formulations and evidencing actual or a risk ofsignificant harm, makes this a professionally fraught and ill-defined area of child protection work for Paediatricians, irrespective of recent Guidance (RCPCH 2002). The concluding sections of the thesis will consider inherent difficulties in working in this difficult area of child abuse and will provide recommendations for facilitating professional and child protection practices.

Abstract:
Bibliography: leaves 106-112.
The primary aim of this dissertation was to gain an understanding of the psychopathology present in the perpetrator of Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy (MSP), exploring Jureidini's (1999) notion that this behaviour can be explained as the perpetrator engaging in a form of pathological play. A systematic literature review regarding MSP, with particular foci on psychopathology in perpetrators of MSP and the notion of pathological play was conducted. The notion that MSP is a form of pathological play was critically evaluated through the use of clinical case material. Two cases were selected, both of which met the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (American Psychiatric Association, 1994) diagnostic criteria for MSP, based on the assessment of a child psychiatrist with expertise in this area. The case material was analysed through the generation of common themes and identification of repetitive patterns which were then systematically analysed and compared with the findings cited in the literature review, with particular reference to MSP as a form of pathological play. Jureidini's (1999) theoretical statement was analysed in the light of the available evidence and the theoretical basis was then revised. Aspects explained by the theory were presented. Aspects not explained by the theory were rejected. Object Relations Theory was proposed as an alternative to understanding the psychopathology present in a perpetrator of MSP.

Abstract:
The Munchausen syndrome by proxy refers to a pathology characterized by physical and emotional abuse in which the simulation or production of symptoms is directed towards a child, which involves taking him or her to health treatments and unnecessary surgeries. The difficulties in the diagnosis of this form of abuse and the emotional aspects involved highlight the destructive effects in the infancy subjectivity due to the lack of loving capacity protecting and prioritizing the child demands. Psychoanalysis offers a differentiated view, comprehending that the mother attempts to elaborate her own psychic conflicts by the repetition of traumatic experience. There is a necessity of comprehension of the instinct destructivity presented in the maternal unconscious dynamics revealed in the modality of caring which is reflected in violence.
El Síndrome de Munchausen by proxy se refiere a una patología caracterizada por el abuso físico o emocional, en donde la simulación o producción de síntomas es direccionada al hijo, llevando a tratamientos de salud y cirugías innecesarios. Las dificultades diagnósticas de este tipo de abuso y los aspectos emocionales implicados llaman atención por los efectos destructivos en la subjetividad infantil, fruto de una falla en la capacidad de amar, proteger y priorizar las demandas del hijo. El Psicoanálisis ofrece una mirada que retrata un intento de elaboración de los propios conflictos psíquicos por la vía de la repetición de vivencias traumáticas. Así, se percibe la necesidad de una comprensión de la destrucción pulsional presente en la dinámica inconsciente materna revelada por esta modalidad de cuidado que se traduce en violencia.

Abstract:
Introduction: Factitious disorders is a group of psychiatric pathologies in which a person acts as if he has an illness by deliberately producing or exaggerating symptoms on them, or sometimes they use a “victim” in order to catch the attention of the others. Usually, the real causes for this kind of behavior are emotional impairments and personality disorders. Munchausen syndrome and Munchausen by proxy syndrome are the most known of these disorders. Aim: The aim of this paper is to raise awareness for this kind of disorder because they are an extensive problem for the medical system and in many cases, they are hard to diagnose and manage. Method: We started by observing and documenting an unusual case of Munchausen syndrome at a patient from Infantile Neuropsychiatric Clinic of Psychiatry Institute “Socola”, Iasi and her mother with Munchausen by proxy syndrome. We compered this pair of cases with data reviews on the subject to see what are the challenges that are common for this kind of pathologies and how we can manage them. Conclusions: We concluded that factitious disorders are more common that is thought they are. Doctors tend to let this diagnose on the last place because the priority is to resolve the somatic symptoms of the patient. That is why we must acknowledge and understand how to manage this kind of mental disorder.
