Abstract
This paper presents a case of an emotionally deprived child with some evidence of child neglect resulting
from separation of parents (maternal deprivation). It also further confirms the long recognized fact that the
most successful treatment of growth failure and weight loss due to psychosocial deprivation is restoration
of a normal social environment. In particular, it highlights the need for a high index of suspicion and
awareness on the part of medical personnel with regard to emotional disorders in children.
