Product Description
The authors make the case that the term Munchausen syndrome by proxy should be retired permanently and replaced with a commonsense appreciation that children can be abused by their parents in the medical environment. Physicians who find themselves providing unnecessary and harmful medical care can see the abuse for what it is, another way parents can harm children.
The book offers the first detailed and comprehensive description of treatment for this form of child maltreatment.
At last. A clear, logical, and immensely practical book, showing that this is not a syndrome at all, but rather another important form of child abuse…and one which is completely preventable.
Kim Oates, Emeritus Professor of Pediatrics, The University of Sydney, Australia
A fantastic book that will revolutionize, in a much needed way, the way we think about this disorder.
Alex V. Levin, MD, MHSc, FAAP, FAAO, FRCSC, Professor, Departments of Paediatrics, Genetics, and Ophthalmology and Vision Sciences Director, Postgraduate Bioethics Education University of Toronto
Drs Roesler and Jenny have finally mapped the terrain of child abuse showing where medical child abuse stands in the overall landscape.

Medical Child Abuse: Beyond Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy

Tuesday, 2. March 2010
Product Description
Munchausen by Proxy Syndrome (MBPS), a form of child abuse in which a primary carer – usually a mother – fabricates and//or induces illness in a child, is one of the least understood forms of child abuse and mental illness. Examining the current knowledge about the manifestations and consequences of this perplexing behaviour, this book assists all professionals working with chronically ill children in identifying and intervening with this bizarre and often deadly form of abuse.
Drawing from their firsthand experience with the complexities of such cases, the editors and contributors address critical issues of not only identification and assessment but also long-term psychotherapy. Therapy with the mother//perpetrator has traditionally been markedly unsuccessful, but this book provides a much-needed framework for the successful treatment of acknowledged perpetrators. Emphasizing the important role of efficient multidisciplinary cooperation in handling MBPS cases, Munchausen by Proxy Syndrome also features perspectives from experts in the fields of medicine, child protection, education, social work, hospital administration and law.
Munchausen by Proxy Syndrome demystifies the mother//perpetrator’s deception and gives professionals the knowledge to save children from induced life-threatening illnesses and consequent medical procedures. Professionals, academics, researchers, and students in a variety of fields, including clinical and counselling psychology, social work, nursing//health sciences, criminal justice, and law, will need the information presented in this book to help stop this form of abuse.

Product Description
Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy is the syndrome that causes parents and care workers to harm their children to get attention. Many families are separated after its diagnosis. But has the fertile imagination of social workers and the public turned MSBP into the “trendy” disorder of our time? McGill traces the 25-year history of the disorder and examines high profile cases from six countries. He produces compelling stories from parents and care workers and asks what can be done to protect parents from being wrongly accused.
