Search For Identity and Alienation in The Novels of Ruskin Bond

Authors(2) :-Dr. Anita Goswami, Geetika Ahuja

Child psychology is the field of study about the behavior, development and growth patterns of children and their problems during the adolescence phase. Psychoanalysts form opinion that the foundations of the child’s personality, behavior and attitudes have their genesis in the early parent-child interaction within the home. A child being separated from the father has difficulty in establishing satisfactory social relationships and experiences high levels of anxiety. He lacks warmth and affection except for his mother. But what happens to the child who is denied the love and sympathetic concern of his mother? Bowlbey and his associate psychologists are of the view that "maternal coldness" or maternal separation based upon family conflicts or child rejection has a damaging effect on the child's psychological growth and adjustment. Ruskin Bond is a well- known Indian short-story writer in English, who wrote in the light of his own experiences and the impressions he found about things and people he came across are reflected in his works
