[Psychological subdeprivation].
The term psychic subdeprivation is explained on the basis of findings assembled in a series of research investigations the object of which were relatively large samples of children growing up in families under less favourable emotional circumstances - children born from unwanted pregnancies, children from families of alcoholics, children of illegitimate birth, children followed up after the parents' divorce. The research used a uniform methodology. The findings remind in many respects of less favourable developmental trends recorded in classical studies of psychic deprivation of children living permanently in childrens homes. Their clinical picture is, however, less marked. Nevertheless they represent the danger of a less favourable psychosocial development in a not negligible part of the child population, the potential source of more serious social pathology and the danger of transmission to the next generation.
