Annotation: This book is built on the research by the author studying separation from the mother as a threat to the emotional security of the child under four during periods of brief hospitalization. In this book the author presents evidence of the lag in implementing changes in hospital procedures and practices drawing upon the expressed concerns of parents in letters which describe the experiences of their children and themselves during hospital care. The expressed intent of the book is not to condemn but to illuminate and inform.
