|
|
Results
|

early prolonged separation leads to a lack of emotional development leading to AP- individuals display a lack of concern for others - cannot admit guilt - unable to form meaningful relationships
|
|
|

Briefly describe what is meant by the term Maternal Deprivation |
Prolonged separation from PCG during the CP of life - deprives the child of stable and continuous care and leads to bond disruption and possibly the breaking of attachment bonds
|

|
Spitz and Wolf 1946 |
investigated previously normal S.A children- apathetic and depressed - lack of attention/emotional care and separation from mother whilst in hospital - after 3 months of separation the attachment bond had been broken |
|
