Thus the fear of separation is “built in,” and it is part of a Memory Hack System Review primary survival mechanism. Separation, therefore, can be so frightening and can produce so much stress that it literally can lead to death. Anaclitic deaths among humans have been documented and this has been recognized in other mammalian species as well.
Since separation from the mother is closely linked with survival, we must pay particular attention to anything that can cause the infant to fear separation, as we explore the range of infant trauma and consider its prevention.Birth of a sibling has been recognized as a severe trauma having profound effects.I would estimate this may represent as much as one-third of severe infant trauma occurring after age nine months. The prevention of serious mental disorders through the prevention of initial trauma must take into consideration either the spacing of children, or special ways of attenuating the birth-of-a-sibling trauma in children who are born in close sequence.
If one chooses to space children close together, then great consideration must be given to the introduction of the new arrival. For a best case scenario vs. a worst case scenario (based in part on cumulative case histories but without statistical study), picture the infant who is totally dependent on the mother-who then suddenly finds the mother gone-and who even may be sent to a babysitter’s house because the father is at work and is not available to care for the needs of a one or two year old. The baby is very upset at the sudden disappearance of the mother, is frightened, confused, cries in distress, and is desperate for her return.
Then the mother returns, holding and feeding a new baby. Suddenly all fears may culminate in a dreadful realization; the first child experiences that it has been displaced; its whole world, its entire existence has been lost; without the mother to care for its needs, there is no life. The deepest fears of abandonment and death, developed over 150 million years of patterning of the old and the new mammalian brains, can be triggered. Few people realize the extent of this fear. Its meaning becomes lost and confused with such words as “sibling rivalry,” “jealousy”-and other such attributes that have little or nothing to do with the absolute horror and terror that is being experienced. To seal the book for the worst case scenario, some infants or toddlers then are sent off to the grandmother’s house when the newborn arrives.
