On the importance of motivation in Munchausen by Proxy: the case of Kathy Bush
Child Abuse Negl.
2002 May.
Abstract
The recent trial and conviction of Kathy Bush for abusing her daughter is used to illustrate (1) the nature of the motivation, in at least some cases of MBP, and (2) the importance of distinguishing the motivation found in MBP from that found in other forms of child abuse and other conditions involving factitious illness production.
