They concluded that 10 out of 12 mothers presented enough behavioural signs to warrant diagnoses of character disorder. These women (according to the authors) presented a constellation of psychological failures conducive to inadequate mothering, including: r limited abilities to perceive accurately the environment, their own needs, those of their children; r or limitations of adaptability to changes in their lives; r adverse affective states; r defective object-relationships; and r limited capacity for concern.
Patton and Gardner postulated that emotional disturbances might have direct effects on intermediary metabolism so as to interfere with the anabolic processes. The production and release of several anterior pituitary hormones are influenced by hypothalamic centres, which are, in turn, recipients of pathways from higher neural centres, particularly the limbic cortex (also thought to be the focus of emotional feelings and behaviour). These authors, on the basis of six very thoroughly studied children, favoured a theory of emotional influence on growth with secondary hormonal insufficiencies as the main cause of the dwarfism.
There are, however, various reasons why children are undernourished: they include acute feeding difficulties including oral-motor dysfunction, disturbed mother–child interaction, insecure disoriented attachment, family dysfunction, neglect, rejection, poverty, and various illnesses (Iwaniec, 1995). The definition adapted by the author (and which will be used throughout this book) is: failure to thrive in infants and children is failure to develop in terms of weight-gain and growth at the normal speed and amount for their ages as a result of inadequate calorie intake.
