Munchausen syndrome by proxy
A review of the literature and a survey of pediatric neurologists and gastroenterologists yield data indicating that the prevalence of Munchausen syndrome by proxy is greater than is generally estimated.

Traumatized children and the news media
Child victims of catastrophic incidents are often deluged by the news media and by the consequences of instant celebrity status but little is known about the effects of such publicity on these children. Several possible negative consequences for the children are discussed, as are some potential benefits. Suggestions are made for measures to minimize potential trauma arising from media attention

Primary differences involve the form of deception, age of the victim, and maternal affect. Five histories are presented and it is suggested that doctor addiction is more common than has thus far been reco…
An exploratory approach to self-blame and self-derogation by rape victims
