Factitious Disorder Imposed on Another (previously known as Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy) involves a person causing or fabricating symptoms in another person, typically a child or dependent, and presenting them as ill. The primary motivation is to receive attention and reinforcement for being a caring, attentive caregiver, rather than for financial gain, distraction from personal issues, or to cause suffering.
