I did some research and found the definition of "Emotional Deprivation Disorder"*
Hi Fallingskies
This is a term developed by a single researcher (or possibly two people jointly). Tewes, I believe is one of the names. You can find their books by googling. It is not in the DSM AFAIK, and seems to have a lot of overlap with conditions that are. I read one of the books and while some of it seemed useful, I think I'd prefer to go with existing terminology myself, if only so that I can talk with everybody else.
