English term
pole along a continuum
English
Social Sciences
Psychology
First, I would locate MBP within a broader, historical and cross-cultural context, as an extreme pole along a continuum of (mal-) adaptive maternal behaviors in response to unrecognized and unmet needs, not all of which are pathological.
Would you put in other words the following expression: "to locate MBP as an extreme pole along a continuum".
What does it mean?

extreme point on a spectrum of...
Extreme pole is redundant. There are only two poles of an axis, and continuum is:
A continuous extent, succession, or whole, no part of which can be distinguished from neighboring parts except by arbitrary division
whereas spectrum, a broad sequence or range of related qualities, ideas, or activities,
seems more applicable.

as a radical point along with regular-continuous maladaptive maternal behaviours
I think;
extreme pole is one expression and the rest is another.
So pole along a continuum seem dangling somewhere.
the pole refers "idea", "point", "remark" etc.

to place/to situate MBP at the outer limit of the range
continuum is not bad; but pole does not fit very well with it

endpoint
a continuum is one long line from 2 extreme points(or poles)
from hot to cold/liberal to conservative, etc.
here, they are saying that it is an endpoint and the extreme point of maternal behavior; I would suggest that at the other extreme (pole) one would find loving maternal behavior

English term (edited):
locate MBP as an extreme pole along a continuum
consider MBP as one of the extreme manisfestation of a wider range of maladaptive manifestation
my peers have explained very well the pole idea, but they haven't considered what Manchausen by Proxy is (see link provided) and how this fits into the context and structure of the sentence
