Abstract
The literature on the production, the effects, the explanations, and the uses of sensory deprivation techniques has been reviewed. Attention has been drawn to the lack of adequate rationale for the existence of the 3 main techniques, and to the shortcomings of the experimental investigations into the effects of deprivation. The paucity of factual data gives rise to a variety of theories to explain these effects. In the absence of more data it is impossible to decide between these theories. The results of deprivation studies will continue to have limited practical application until the field is more systematically investigated.
