"Munchausen by Proxy"
If your child's therapist has sent her home telling her not to eat what you cook or take any meds you give her and your daughter is 16 and then she tells you just what the therapist told her and she NEVER NEVER NEVER wants to see that therapist again, you may need to let a few years pass before you listen to this book. I certainly did. Given the recent incident, I would never have bought it had I known it concerned Munchausen's. The dumb thing in my case was my child's age. I don't think there has ever been a child over 6 or 8 that will take the abuse. It ends when they are toddlers and learn to talk.
The book kept me guessing to the end so it was a real whodunit. Writing was acceptable. The new parents crying baby and lack of sleep was a bit overdone but it was a good listen--9 years after the crazy shrink.
