Title: Practical Aspects of Munchausen by Proxy and Munchausen Syndrome Investigation by Kathryn Artingstall ISBN: 0-8493-8162-2 Publisher: CRC Press Pub. Date: 14 August, 1998 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $89.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 3 (2 reviews)
Rating: 1
Summary: Over-priced and Out Dated!
Comment: This witch-hunt is over. The creator of MSBP (Roy Meadow) has been exposed and discredited for his "fanciful tales" and courts all over the UK are overturning convictions. Courts in the US are recognizing that this is not a diagnosis accepted by any medical establishment.
Child abuse can not be diagnosied by warning signs and attention-seeking behavior can only be diagnosed by a qualified professional once a crime has been established by medical fact.
Rating: 5
Summary: An important work from an acknowledged expert in the field.
Comment: Detective Artingstall is well-known for her body of writings and her experience in Munchausen syndrome and Munchausen by proxy cases. In this authoritative work, she provides insights and practical assistance missing from most other books on the subject. Legal forms, lists of pertinent questions to ask as cases are examined, and summaries of chapter highlights are among the useful elements of the book. The book is also liberally dotted with case studies, including legal outcomes. Although the copy-editing is not as thorough as I would have liked, the content of the book is outstanding. Detective Artingstall's book will be an often-cited resource for practitioners of multiple disciplines--social work, law enforcement, nursing, medicine, child protection, and more. While factitious disorder and Munchausen syndrome have been long-acknowledged in the professional literature, the type of abuse called Munchausen by proxy has been recognized and studied only within the last 2 decades. Works such as this one--based on a mastery of the literature, a wealth of personal experience, and an abiding desire to uncover the truth (no matter how disturbing)--will be invaluable in irrefutably establishing Munchausen by proxy as a public health and criminal-justice issue that requires our careful attention.
