Early severe institutional deprivation is associated with a persistent variant of adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder: clinical presentation, developmental continuities and life circumstances in the English and Romanian Adoptees study

TL;DR: The results confirm the powerful association of early experience with later development in a way that suggests a role for deep‐seated alterations to brain structure and function and provide the first evidence of a strong persistence into adulthood of a distinctively complex and impairing deprivation‐related variant of ADHD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Maternal deprivation reconsidered

TL;DR: A review of the evidence suggests that in most cases the damage comes from “lack” or “distortion” of care rather than from any form of “loss”, and the term “maternal deprivation” is misleading in that inmost cases the deleterious influences are not specifically tied to the mother and are not due to deprivation.
Journal ArticleDOI

III. Deprivation-specific psychological patterns.

TL;DR: Although ‘‘natural experiments’’ have confirmed the reality of environmental mediation of causation, in the case of sexual abuse in childhood, its risk effects span a range of diagnoses and there is not a pattern of psychopathology that tells one that the disorder must have been due to sexual abuse.
