Intervention by Separation and Reunification of Victims of Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy
Abstract
and reunifications children as victims of Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy against their
parents as perpetrators of Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy. The subjects of this study were
9 expert figures with different backgrounds and several previous research journals as
references. This research uses interpretative analysis by using an unstructured interview
method and journal review for secondary data. After the data is collected completely and
thoroughly, both from primary and secondary data collection, the data can be grouped or
adjusted according to the type of data obtained from interviews with research subjects and
previous research based on the journals. The results showed that the separation intervention
is still one of the intervention methods used for victims of child abuse. However, this
intervention can also cause deep psychological wounds in children due to being separated
from their parents, where the trauma from the separation will greatly affect the
psychological development of children in terms of their trust in others. Apart from that,
reunification is still very possible, but the possibility of repeated acts of violence is also
quite high. Continued and prolonged counseling is needed to minimize these negative impacts however, this follow-up step is still difficult to do, especially in Indonesia due to
the lack of human resources from related institutions or agencies.
