In-arms deprivation
Hi
This is the argument which Jean Liedloff puts forward in her well-known
book The Continuum Concept. She suggests that a great deal of modern social and
psychological disorders stem from what she calls “in-arms deprivation.” In primal
cultures, she notes, babies are never left alone.They are constantly carried, and sleep
with their parents or other family members, so that they have constant skin to skin
contact. At the same time, there is never any attempt to control their desires.

Yes, something like that, Newguest. The paragraph itself tells you what it means. It refers to a lack or cessation of holding and carrying a baby, and thus also the deprivation of physical contact.
