| Summary: | ABSTRACT. Non-organic failure to thrive in infants and young children is a
severe condition with a strong impact on the child’s developmental outcomes. We
analyzed social environmental, emotional, behavioral and temperamental factors,
as well as several mental health issues drawn from observation and assessment of
sixty-nine infants and toddlers hospitalized for nutrition disorders, in order to
determine the impact of non-organic FTT on the child’s development at this stage.
Several implications for enhancement of resilience were also derived. |
