John'
aged 17 months, for
9 days in a residential nursery
Young
Children in Brief Separation
Robertson Films - DVD
 For
two days John tries to attach himself to a nurse, but because
they are not assigned to individual children no nurse attends
to John long enough to understand him and answer his needs.
He is not mothered or protected from attacks by the other
children. Food
and routines are strange, and the father's visits can do
little to ease the situation. John becomes increasingly
distressed, and eventually sinks into hopeless apathy. At
reunion he rejects his mother.
