PY - 2008 T2 - CURRENT Diagnosis & Treatment: Psychiatry, 2e AB - Normal infants are born with the capacity to attach to their parents and to elicit care from them. Defects in the infant's capacity to attach or elicit care, and deficiencies or disruption in the response of the caregiver, can be associated with a number of conditions such as reactive attachment disorder, rumination disorder of infancy, nonorganic failure to thrive, and psychosocial dwarfism. These conditions commence in infancy and, if not corrected, distort later social and intellectual development. Sleep problems often commence in the first 2 years of age. Pica and elimination disorders are usually first diagnosed between 2 and 5 years of age.
