I think that Bowlby's orginal research was about children who were negelected and how it affected their ability to attach to people. I recently read an article about the long term affects of neglect, but I can't remember the author's name for the life of me. But the article did mention that physical and emotional neglect impacts a person's development--psychologically as well as intellectually.
I don't like to think of my childhood as having been neglected. I had all my physical needs met, like food and a place to sleep. Emotional needs as well as a sense of safety was a little scarce, and I can see that affecting my life now.
