This book covers Munchausen and Munchausen by Proxy (MBP) though
the terms have recently changed. The 2013 DSM-V-the update to the
American Psychiatric Association's (APA) diagnostic and
classification tool-has classified both Munchausen and MBP as
"Factitious Systematic Abuse." While thought to have occurred
primarily with children and their caregivers, recent research shows
a more widespread problem: such medical abuse to spouses, the
disabled, the elderly-even pets. Many involve repeat and long-term
instances of hospital and medical fraud. This book covers the
syndrome itself, interviewing and investigative aspects,
victimology, as well indicators in the event of homicide and death.
