Privation

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]
