Munchausen Syndrome by proxy? ANOTHER ANSWER The term you are looking for is MUNCHHAUSEN (mynch-how-zen) BY PROXY. Munchhausen refers to someone who claims illness or actually make themselves sick in order to get attention. Munchhausen by Proxy refers to someone who claims their child is ill, or more often, actually makes their child sick in order to get attention. Some women have actually gone as far as suffocating or poisoning their child, only to "save" them by seeking medical attention. They crave attention from friends, neighbors, doctors, nurses, anyone who will listen and fulfill their desire for sympathy and attention. It is a very real and very disturbing mental disorder. <<>>
