It discusses adverse effects of maternal deprivation, such as mental disorders, and prevention of maternal deprivation through supporting families or creating substitute families. Deprivation of Maternal Care assesses Bowlby's work and provides signed chapters on "masked deprivation" in infants and young children, paternal and maternal roles and delinquency, a social scientists' approach to maternal deprivation, a review of research on the concept of maternal deprivation, and a review on findings and controversy on the effects of maternal deprivation. Bowlby's work provides tables and a bibliography and the other work also lists references.
