Hospitalism (or anaclitic depression in its sublethal form) was a pediatric diagnosis used in the 1930s to describe infants who wasted away while in a hospital. The symptoms could include decreased physical development and disruption of perceptual-motor skills and language. In the first half of the 20th century, hospitalism was discovered to be linked to social deprivation between an infant and its caregiver. The term was in use in 1945, but the term can be traced back as early as 1897.
Hospitalismo de Spitz es un concepto procedente del psicoanalista Rene Spitz, discípulo de Freud, a inicios del siglo XX. Spitz observó que la tasa de mortalidad durante los primeros meses de vida era mucho más elevada entre los neonatos que carecían de estímulos benignos, particularmente cuando en las maternidades eran aislados de sus madres y las enfermeras sustitutas quedaban a cargo de ellos.
