Summary

Dr. Bex joins Andrea for the final installment of our Justina Pelletier miniseries. They pick up by giving an overview of the court case, and the eerie similarities to the Kowalski case. They chat about the experts who were brought in by both the Pelletiers and Boston Children’s, and the importance of looking into the background of expert witnesses. Dr. Bex and Andrea break down the connection between somatoform disorder and prolonged Medical Child Abuse, and how it may affect the recovery of the victim once they are separated from their abuser. Bex and Andrea also catch listeners up on where Justina Pelletier is now and what the trajectory of her life and health has looked like since being returned to her parents. *** Links/Resources: The Battle for Justina Pelletier: https://www.peacocktv.com/watch-online/tv/the-battle-for-justina-pelletier/5657866397468499112 Join Patreon for a look at Andrea and Dr. Bex’s previous coverage of the Justina Pelletier case: https://www.patreon.com/collection/507935 Preorder Andrea's new book The Mother Next Door: Medicine, Deception, and Munchausen by Proxy Click here to view our sponsors.

0:00.0	I'm Andrea Dunlop and welcome to Nobody Should Believe Me case files.
0:07.0	Today, in the final installment of our Justina Pellateer mini-series, we are rounding out the conversation with Dr. Bex.
0:16.0	We'll be talking through the Pellateer trial and recapping some of what we learned about the case there,
0:21.1	as well as talking through the many ways in which this case really mirrored the Kowalski case that we covered in season three,
0:29.1	albeit with a very different outcome.
0:32.0	If you want even more on the Pellateer case, you can listen to the complete deep dive that Dr. Bex and I did
0:38.3	on Patreon of the Case and the Peacock series, and you can do it for free right now on Patreon
0:43.8	as I have taken all of those episodes out from behind the paywall. And a reminder that
0:48.7	being a paid subscriber to the show, either on Patreon or Apple, you get two bonus episodes
0:53.6	every month with Dr. Bex and
0:55.5	me. You also get early access and ad-free listening. My team and I are working hard on season
1:01.3	five right now, and for the first time ever, we are going to have the whole season ready to
1:07.9	binge for subscribers when we launch in January. Very excited about that.
1:13.3	If monetary support is not an option right now, please do rate and review us on Spotify and
1:18.3	Apple and tell a friend. We are an independent show and we always will be. So word of mouth support
1:25.0	really means so much. Also, if you'd like to see my face, in addition to hearing my voice,
1:30.9	you can now check us out on YouTube. I put makeup on and everything. And a final reminder for today
1:36.7	that if you or anyone you know is a victim or survivor of Munchausen by proxy abuse, please do go to
1:43.0	munchausen support.com for help.
1:45.6	You can find that link in the show notes, and if you'd like to support the work that my
1:49.7	colleagues and I are doing over there, donations are also much appreciated.
1:54.3	With that, enjoy the show.
