World Renowned Medical Anthropologist Compares Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy Labeling to Witch Hunts:
Doctors Redirect Blame to Protect Themselves Against Medical Negligence Claims

Dr. Helen Hayward-Brown is a medical anthropologist/sociologist who completed her doctorate on false and highly questionable accusations of Munchausen syndrome by proxy. She completed two post-doctoral fellowships with the Social Justice and Social Change Research Centre at the University of Western Sydney, in addition to her teaching and advocacy work.

Dr. Helen Hayward Brown joins Tammi Stefano on The National Safe Child Show to discuss the widely discredited “Munchausen syndrome by proxy” label. This label has proven to be not only destructive of families but also obstructive of justice.
