| DESCRIPTION: How do small children
feel when they are separated from their parents and familiar surroundings?
What is it like to be a toddler in hospital or institutioinal care? In
this account of their pioneering research, the authors describe the anxiety,
loneliness and despair of young children in hospital, foster homes and
institutions in Britain in the 1950s and 1960s.
This is the first history of a uniquely influential couple in the field of child health, who pioneered research into the effects of separation from the mother when a small child went into hospital. Their work revolutionised the policy of hospitals. "... should be compulsory reading for all professionals working with small children and babies." Preview
"These papers are fascinating, not only as a historical record of change
and as a description of new ideas about child development; they are also
a very vivid and intimate account of what early childhood is really like."
Margaret Drabble
