I'm looking for information about Emotional Deprivation Disorder. As far as I know this disorder is included in DSM-IV Text Revision, but I couldn't find any information about that. I only saw it under "Healing the Unaffirmed: Recognizing Emotional Deprivation Disorder" by Baars & Terruwe. I couldn't find any diagnostic of it. Can you tell me more about this?
