Summary

Andrea Dunlop embarks on a journey to unravel the mystery of Munchausen by Proxy and help others affected by this emotionally-rewarding and deadly form of child abuse, which has significant mental health implications. What drives a caregiver to fabricate or induce illness in a child? Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy (MSBP) is a disturbing form of child abuse that often goes unnoticed, impacting the mental health of its victims in profound ways. In this episode, we uncover the signs, psychological impact, and nuances of MSBP, spotlighting Andrea Dunlop’s efforts to raise awareness and support those affected. Understanding MSBP is key to providing victims with the mental health support they need and preventing further abuse. Andrea Dunlop is an author, consultant, and member of the American Professional Society on the Abuse of Children's Munchausen by Proxy committee. She is the co-creator of Munchausen Support, which provides resources for frontline professionals, families, and survivors dealing with Munchausen by Proxy.
