This step-by-step guide will help you identify and manage cases of
this unique form of child maltreatment! Munchausen by proxy (MBP)
is a dangerous kind of maltreatment in which a caretaker
deliberately and repeatedly exaggerates, fabricates, and/or induces
a health problem or problems in someone under his or her care.
Munchausen by Proxy: Identification, Intervention, and Case
Management is the first book to walk you step-by-step through a
suspected MBP maltreatment case from suspicion onward. This
skills-based, practical book contains a thorough, up-to-date
overview of MBP and includes suggestions for identifying and
reporting to child protection agencies, investigating and gathering
evidence, and legal and court procedures. Its easy readability and
immediate applicability make this text a valuable tool in
identifying and preventing this form of child abuse. Munchausen by
Proxy is divided into three parts. The first covers the definition
of MBP, the role of the perpetrator and victim, and the ethical
issues affecting professionals, patients, and family. Part two
addresses case work from initial suspicions through the
investigative and confirmation/disconfirmation process. The third
section is dedicated to case planning and case management once MBP
has been confirmed, including intervention, immediate child
protection, and legal activities. Those involved in a suspected or
confirmed MBP case will learn about: the limits of the DSM-IV as
applied to MBP perpetrator-consistent characteristics the MBP
situational suspicion indicators the inappropriateness of risk
assessment tools developed for other forms of maltreatment the
danger when MBP perpetrators realize they are under suspicion and
more! This volume is generously enhanced with case examples, sample
forms, figures, and representative management plans. In Munchausen
by Proxy, authors Lasher and Sheridanexperts in MBP and child
protectionhave come together to fill the gap in the libraries of
anyone who may become involved with a MBP case. This includes child
welfare professionals and staff, law enforcement, school personnel,
health care practitioners, judges and lawyers, and social workers.
