    Study Notes

    Maternal Deprivation According to Bowlby

    • Maternal deprivation refers to the lack of a continuous relationship with a mother figure, which is essential for a child's psychological development.
    • This deprivation can lead to significant psychological damage if it occurs during a critical period.

    Risk of Psychological Damage

    • The risk of psychological damage due to deprivation starts to decrease after the age of 2-3 years, according to Bowlby.
    • However, this risk doesn't entirely end, as some effects can still be seen later in life.

    Brief Separations

    • Brief separations are not significant for a child's development, as they do not cause long-term psychological damage.
    • These separations can even be beneficial, allowing the child to develop coping mechanisms and learn to deal with temporary absences.

    Separation vs. Deprivation

    • Separation refers to a temporary absence of the mother figure, while deprivation is the long-term lack of a mother figure.
    • Separation can be a normal part of life, but deprivation has severe consequences for a child's psychological development.

    Critical Period

    • The critical period for psychological development, according to Bowlby, is from birth to around 5 years old.
    • During this period, the child's attachment to the mother figure is crucial, and any disruptions can have long-lasting effects.
