Abstract
The case study of Adam, a severely-deprived Colombian orphan, is presented. At 16 months of age the child was suffering from severe marasmic malnutrition, his development was about the level of a 3-month old, he had been physically neglected and was emotionally withdrawn. Adam was adopted at 34 months of age. At 8 years of age his Full-Scale WISC-R-IQ was 113 and at 10 years of age he scored 100% on the Michigan Assessment Test. Now at 13 years 10 months he is functioning at the 8th grade school level, which is appropriate for his age, and his weight and height are in the 50th centile range.Keywords
