1. anaclitic

   Hospitalism (or anaclitic depression in its sublethal form) was a pediatric diagnosis used in the 1930s to describe infants who wasted away while in a hospital. The symptoms could include decreased physical development and disruption of perceptual-motor skills and language. In the first half of the 20th century, hospitalism was discovered to be linked to social deprivation between an infant and its caregiver. The term was used by the psychotherapist René Spitz in 1945, but the term can be traced back as early as 1897.It appears under adjustment disorders at F43.2, in the World Health Organization's classification of diseases, ICD-10.
