Inchild psychology,privationis the absence or lack of basic necessities.[1]Privation occurs when a child has no opportunity to form a relationship with a parent figure, or when such relationship is distorted, due to their treatment.[2]It is different todeprivation,which occurs when an established relationship is severed.[3]It is understood that privation can produce social, emotional and intellectual problems for children; however, how inevitable such problems become as a result of privation, and the extent to which they can be reversed, remains an issue of debate amongpsychologists.[4]
