Repeated false allegations of sexual abuse presenting to sheriffs: when is it Munchausen by Proxy?. Schreier, H. A. Child Abuse & Neglect, 20(10):985–91, USA, 1996. abstract bibtex Munchausen by proxy syndrome, wherein a caretaker (most often a mother) simulates or fabricates illness in a child in order to assume the sick role through another has now been described involving a variety of psychiatric problems and false allegations of sexual abuse. Given that a proposed dynamic appears to be a need in a dependent and/or hostile relationship with powerful transferential people from the past, it was expected that professionals (school psychologists, social workers, lawyers) other than doctors would be involved. A case involving law enforcement agents as a primary "target" is described and its significance discussed.
