BACKGROUND. When children are acutely ill and life is threatened, separation anxiety can develop in parents and children. Separation anxiety has been studied through two traditions—as a normative phenomenon and as a disorder. SOURCE. A comprehensive review of the literature. OBJECTIVE. To analyze and evaluate the literature to derive clinical and research implications. CONCLUSIONS. Support was found for the development of interventions beyond the developmental stage of early childhood. The need for a family approach was evident.
