Mothers Against Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy Allegations:"M.A.M.A. was started in response to the fast growing number of false allegations of Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy (MSBP). Parents are being accused of making their own children ill. Increasingly, families across America, Britain, Australia, Canada and New Zealand are being destroyed by doctors and other professionals making unwarranted allegations against desperate mothers of chronically/critically ill children."

Dr. Marc Feldman's Munchausen Syndrome, Factitious Disorder, & Munchausen by Proxy Page:"I am a psychiatrist and author from Birmingham, Alabama. Munchausen syndrome is the most severe and chronic form of my area of specialty, the factitious disorders. Factitious disorders are well-recognized among psychiatrists, but they have not received the attention--or advocacy among consumers, families, and professionals--that have greeted more common ailments such as depression. However, factitious disorders can be every bit as disabling and further public and professional education are vital."

******************************************************

Mothers Against Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy Allegations:"This page is a chilling insight into the minds of Munchausen Syndrom By Proxy mentation. One of the primary factors of the Munchausen's Perpetrator is their chilling ability to plot carefully, leaving almost nothing to chance; to lie convincingly, and to be believed; and above all to carry on even in the face of convincing evidence and in some cases filmed observations, as if all accusations were the product of a disordered and deluded mind. This mental state has been observed to be very much akin to the criminal sociopathic mindset - with the only difference being that instead of injuring or killing for financial gain, they're injuring or killing for no real reason at all."

******************************************************

Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy:"Karl Friedrich Hieronymus Freihess von Munchausen was an 18th Century figure who gained fame for his tall tales revolving around his peripatetic adventures. Richard Asher (1951) coined the term "Munchausen Syndrome" to characterize patients who fabricate illness and subject themselves to unpleasant and potentially harmful medical procedures. Patients with this disorder travel great distances and recount dramatic, plausible but, nevertheless, false medical histories. The English pediatrician Meadow (1977) came up with "Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy" (MSBP) after discovering that several of his epileptic patients' mothers had fabricated the children's symptoms."

******************************************************

Munchausen's Syndrome by Proxy (MSP):"Munchausen's Syndrome refers to a psychiatric disorder where patients pretend to have illnesses, and therefore are subjected to many medical tests and surgical procedures. 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."

******************************************************

Parenthood Betrayed The Dilemma of Munchausen Syndrome By Proxy:"Kathleen Bush and Yvonne Eldridge had a lot in common. First, both cared for children with remarkably complex medical problems: Jennifer Bush suffered from constant intestinal problems, and Eldridge's two foster daughters experienced a host of ailments that left them weak and emaciated. Second, both Bush and Eldridge spent most of their time escorting their sickly girls from doctor to doctor: Jennifer was eventually hospitalized 200 times, and all three children had to undergo surgery to place feeding tubes into their stomachs."
