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.
