I am looking for some information about the effects of hospitalism in non mentally disabled adults. "Not mentally disabled" refers to the time before they started to suffer from hospitalism, of course, as afterwards they might be considered disabled because of hospitalism.
Everything I found is about either (formerly) institutionalized children or mentally disabled people who have been in a psychiatric ward for too long.
The info I need would be more about long-time prisoners, solitary confinement, especially, or about adults who were misstreated and neglected (no matter if as adults or the time they were younger), but focusing on their state of mind as adults. All of them people who would, under "normal" circumstances, have developed "normally" (which means no mental retardation or mental disorder).
Does anyone have some information about this specific topic or can maybe recommend some reliable source of information I could have a look at? Like books, articles, ...? No matter if it's meant for professionals as long as I can buy it somewhere...
