Andrea Dunlop: 本期节目探讨了代理型孟乔森综合征(MBP)的定义、诊断标准、以及社会对其认知的误区。她指出,MBP 并非单纯的精神疾病,而是一种严重的儿童虐待行为,其高死亡率(9%)以及对儿童身心健康的长期损害不容忽视。她强调,MBP 施害者并非患有精神疾病,而是明知故犯,应为其行为负责。她还介绍了 MBP 的常见症状和诊断方法,以及如何识别和应对 MBP。她特别提到,由于 MBP 施害者通常否认其行为,治疗非常困难,保护儿童是首要任务。她还分享了自身经历,以及如何通过提高公众意识来预防和应对 MBP。 Andrea Dunlop: 本节目还讨论了MBP的诊断和治疗的挑战。由于MBP施害者通常否认其行为,并且常常伴随其他人格障碍,治疗非常困难。Andrea Dunlop强调,保护儿童是首要任务,MBP不应被主要视为父母的精神健康问题。她还介绍了美国儿童虐待专业协会(APSAC)关于MBP施害者可治疗性的指导方针,以及如何识别和应对MBP的征兆。她还提供了多种资源,包括她的播客、书籍、以及其他非营利组织和专家资源,以帮助受害者和家庭。
