MunchausenMovie.Com Movie Clips 2

Mama/M.A.M.A.: Munchausen's Syndrome by Proxy" is the provocative investigation of Munchausen's Syndrome by Proxy, a perplexing psychological disorder where a mother secretly but deliberately harms her child in order to get the sympathy and praise of others and the attention of the medical community. The film -- made over the course of three years and two continents -- scrutinizes the scientific research surrounding the diagnosis of Munchausen's and, in doing so, questions the very diagnosis itself. The filmmakers document the struggles of three average families battling the charge of Munchausen's with various, tragic results.

[TheoStuss]

Great, you Americans give those Brits subtitles when they are aired in American TV. Don't you understand English anymore. I'm German and I can deal with London accent, Nortern England, Scotland Ireland, Australia and the USA. We simply have to.

It is estimated that 91 people in every 10,000 have an autistic spectrum disorder.

A practitioner could therefore see 1,820 people with an autistic spectrum disorder for every one case of factitious or induced illness (0.5 per 100,000).

Without putting factitious or induced illness into a proper context the NAS fears that there may be an 'epidemic' of this type of abuse, with many parents reported as abusers, when their children have undiagnosed conditions such as autism.

I'm not quite sure why they felt the need to subtitle Scottish accents. I could understand them perfectly well.
