N2  - In this article the phenomenon of the actual creation of illness in one's own child is explored. Distinction is made between two forms of child abuse: Munchhausen by Proxy and Polle Syndrome. The author elaborates on possible causes of such an unusual condition and takes a feminist perspective in recommending treatment approaches that might be used in handling the problem.<p />
