Abstract
The effects upon the child of separation from his mother (deprivation syndrome) have been critically reviewed. Effects of physical neglect or emotional rejection by the child's mother have not been included in this paper. The results of maternal deprivation in the physical, intellectual and emotional areas have been described. They have been shown to vary in type, intensity and reversibility depending upon the age at which separation occurs, duration of separation and pre- and post-separation experiences of the child. Preventive and therapeutic measures have been briefly discussed.
