Publisher's Synopsis

Janice Erlbaum discusses Munchausen syndrome and her personal experience with the mental illness. Erlbaum was working in a shelter when she first met "Samantha," who had many serious health problems. Later she learned that the problems were not what they appeared to be. Munchausen syndrome is a mental illness in which a person has the symptoms of extreme medical conditions, but they cause all of the symptoms themselves.
