A. IS A GOOD BOY: THE CRUCIAL SYNERGY AMONG CURE AND CARE IN A CASE OF DEVELOPMENTAL RECOVERY

Maltreated children often present to hospitals in a state of severe decompensation, and non-organic failure to thrive is a common complication. Foster care is a common option in the field of child welfare, but unsuccessful placements in foster care exacerbate the child's health condition, which is already serious. This paper describes the case of a 3-year-old boy who demonstrated developmental recovery after a prompt and prolonged hospitalisation due to early physical assault, neglect, institutionalisation, and inadequate multi-placement in foster care.The use of hospital keeping as a preliminary containment mechanism, as well as the medical-nursing staff's mothering, was part of a multidisciplinary and multi-focus intervention. In order to facilitate emotional containment and developmental catch-up in neglected children, hospitalisation should be considered a viable treatment alternative in clinical practise.
