Justice Burnton observed that to give a pattern of criminal behaviour a name, namely Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy, ,,does not of itself lessen the responsivility of the offender. One could say that a multiple rapist exhibits multiple rape syndrome, but that would not of itself lessen his criminal responsibility and should not of itself lead to a lesser sentence". Certain characteristics are common in a person with MSP: · Often is a parent, usually a mmother, but can be the adult child of and elderly patient · Might be a healt care proffesional · Is very friendly and cooperative with the healt care providers · Appears quite concerned (some might seem overly concerned) about the child or designated patient · Might also suffer from Munchausen syndrome (this is a related disorder in which the caregiver repeatedly acts as if he or she has a physical or mental illness when he or she has caused the symptoms.)

Action takes place in a single day. The father and the son have a bitter discussion about the past, while waiting for the drug addict mmother to come downstairs. When night comes we see that it isnt just the late hours of the day but the night of their souls. In 1936 O'Neill was rewarded Nobel Prize for literature. Between the two world wars.
