Psychologists Off the Clock Podcast Interview

Munchausen by Proxy with Andrea Dunlop and Marc Feldman

Psychologists Off the Clock is a psychology podcast hosted by three clinical psychologists. POTC recently featured Andrea Dunlop and Dr. Marc Feldman in an interview with Dr. Debbie Sorensen about Munchausen by Proxy. 

Through personal experiences, real-life cases, and scientific research, Andrea and Dr. Feldman offer listeners their expertise on the topic of Munchausen by proxy. They define terms like factitious disorder and Munchausen, and explore the complex psychology behind this perplexing behavior pattern. They consider warning signs, whether rehabilitation is ever possible, and how we all (family, friends, teachers, medical professionals, and more) can help to protect children from medical child abuse.
