Munchausen syndrome by proxy (MSBP),
Munchausen syndrome by proxy (MSBP), also known as factitious disorder imposed on another, is a psychological disorder in which a caregiver fakes or induces medical symptoms in a person under her care.
The term “Munchausen syndrome by proxy” was first used in 1977 by a doctor named Roy Meadow who suspected a patient’s mother of poisoning the boy with salt. Many people simply consider this condition to be child abuse in a clinical setting.
MSBP was named after Baron Munchausen, a fictional character somewhat based on the real-life Karl Friedrich von Munchhausen who lived in the 18th century and was a renowned storyteller. A writer later “embellished” these tales to include impossible but entertaining stories of Baron Munchausen, the literary character, traveling to the Moon and riding a cannonball. That’s how the name Munchausen became associated with fantastic or exaggerated tales.
After being depicted on hit televisions shows like Scrubs, Law & Order, and Body of Proof, MSBP exploded into public awareness. However, while you probably have heard about MSBP, the following facts are guaranteed to shock and disturb.
