title: [The unbearable reality of the child: Münchhausen's syndrome by proxy].
abstract: The hypothesis of Münchhausen's syndrome arises through a clinical situation. The patient is unable to consider the question of "being a mother". The child takes the place of a real, unbearable object, which she evacuates or which can disappear. This maternal suffering requires psychotherapeutic care.
