Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy | Factitious Disorder Imposed on Another

This video answers the question: What is Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy. This disorder actually goes by a lot of names, so as I mentioned Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy, but also just Munchausen Syndrome, and Munchausen by Proxy, but none of those are actually the official name of the disorder. In the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, we see that the disorder is actually named factitious disorder imposed on another. There's another type of factitious disorder - factitious disorder imposed on self - and of course that's a different disorder. We know that out of all the presentations of factitious disorder, only about 10% would qualify as imposed on another or Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy. If we look at the history of this disorder it actually dates back to 1951 in terms of the name Munchausen's syndrome as it was called first. The term was coined by a man named Richard Asher. A lot of people think the term was coined by a man named Munchausen, but that's not the case. Munchausen is actually the name of a German Baron who was a cavalry captain serving in a Russian regiment in campaigns against the Ottomans in the 18th century. Apparently, this particular cavalry captain had a lot of fabulous anecdotes and wild tales and that's why Asher named this disorder Munchausen syndrome. He thought there was a similarity between the clients he was treating and Munchausen. Walsh, K. (2018). Münchausen Syndrome by Proxy. Barry L. (2008). Understanding Munchausen syndrome by proxy.
