AsherMeadow Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- Named for effort of two pioneering people, Richard Asher and Roy Meadow, our name represents where we came from, and what we aim to do.
- In 1951, Richard Asher was the first to describe a pattern of self-abuse, where individuals fabricated histories of illness. Remembering Baron von Munchausen, Asher named this condition Munchausen's Syndrome.
- In 1977, the English pediatrician Roy Meadow described a form of child abuse in which mothers deliberately induced or falsely reported illnesses in their children.
