There is a difference in privation and deprivation
Rutter criticised Bowlby'smaternal deprivation theory, as he confused the word deprivation
Privation = where child has never had attachment to carer
Deprivation = attachment once formed but is now broken
Rutter (1981) claimed effects of maternal deprivation are more likely to be serious than the effects of maternal deprivation. Evidence comes from case-studies of children who suffered long difficult conditions of cruel treatment
