An unusual family is described which has been studied for several years. Accounts are given of the later development of two sisters who had suffered severe social and emotional deprivation in infancy. One girl appears to have completely recovered. The other remains handicapped, mainly in language skills, and shows a variety of autistic features. She is also microcephalic as is their mother. The development of a half brother who was raised elsewhere is recounted. He is an albino, severely mentally retarded and autistic. The later discrepancies in development of these children are discussed, with reference to former case studies of extreme deprivation in early childhood.
本文描述了一个经过数年研究的特殊家庭。文中讲述了两名在婴儿期遭受严重社会和情感剥夺的姐妹的后期发展情况。其中一个女孩似乎已完全康复。另一个女孩仍然存在缺陷，主要是语言能力方面，并表现出各种自闭症特征。她和她们的母亲一样患有小头畸形。文中还讲述了在其他地方长大的同父异母哥哥的发展情况。他是一名白化病患者，严重智力迟钝且患有自闭症。本文参照以前关于幼儿期极端剥夺的案例研究，讨论了这些孩子后期发展的差异。
