Great "How to" but limited depth on the psychology of MBPBy SfusionI think this is a great "How To" approach to MBP for those that either deal with the victims of perpetrators in a professional fashion. It provides a basic overview of the disorder but mainly focuses on how to report it and create a case legally. It isn't however a very in-depth look at the psychology of those who are MBP. There was one section that delved into the theory that those MBP may also suffer from a personality disorder but beyond that vague reference, it skims across the more intricate details of the psychology of those with MBP. If you are interested in learning more about the psychological dynamics of those who have MBP or how this kind of abuse affects its victims I recommend reading "Hurting for Love" instead which delves much more into the intricate details and case studies of those have MBP and how the spectrum of the disorder appear.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful.

Best book of it's kind!By mbpbusterThis is the only book written with a "gameplan" for discovery of Munchuasen by Proxy. Lasher and Sheridan have given tremendous thought and definition to the Munchuasen diagnosis. They provide a detailed plan to determine whether or not Munchausen by Proxy has taken place. It is such a difficult disorder to prove, and this outline gives medical personnel, child protective services, and the law enforcement agencies a step-by-step guide in proving/disproving MBP. I think it should be required reading for anyone in the medical field. It's amazing that approximately 45% of medical personnel have never heard of MBP. If healthcare workers are not even aware such a disorder exists, there is minimal chance a perpetrator will ever be caught. We deal with this disorder in our family, and this book has helped us know what to look for and where to begin in our quest to "save" our grandson. I highly recommend this book to all professionals who care about children.
