The 2013 DSM-V--the update to the American Psychiatric Association's (APA) diagnostic and classification tool--has classified both Munchausen and MBP as \"Factitious Systematic Abuse.\" While thought to have occurred primarily with children and their caregivers, recent research shows a more widespread problem: such medical abuse to spouses, the disabled, the elderly--even pets. Many involve repeat and long-term instances of hospital and medical fraud. This book covers the syndrome itself, interviewing and investigative aspects, victimology, as well indicators in the event of homicide and death.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45237712289943,"sku":"9781498732215","price":11298.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781498732215.webp?v=1769217368","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/munchausen-by-proxy-and-other-factitious-abuse-practical-and-forensic-investigative-techniques-9781498732215","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
