Abstract
Child psychiatric evaluation and treatment is described for a single case of Munchausen by proxy syndrome with a good outcome. The literature is reviewed, and the medical management of the case summarized. With careful case selection and preparation and with modifications to existing treatment approaches, we conclude that the generally poor prognosis for this condition may be improved. Safe rehabilitation of the child to the family can be a reasonable treatment goal in selected cases.
