Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Munchausenism

👉 Munchausenism is a behavior characterized by a person who takes on the role of another's "munching partner" or caregiver, often due to a lack of emotional support or understanding. This can be especially prevalent in situations where there is an imbalance of power between the caregiver and the person being cared for. The term comes from a book titled "Munchausen: A Guide to Understanding the Munchus Syndrome," which was written by psychologist Dr. James R. Greenberg
