Zusammenfassung

Der Begriff „failure to thrive“ (FTT) stammt ursprünglich aus der pädiatrischen Literatur und wird treffend mit Gedeihstörungen übersetzt. FTT beschreibt ein Krankheitsbild bei Kindern, das durch Appetitlosigkeit, fehlende Gewichtszunahme, Teilnahmslosigkeit, relative Immobilität sowie eine Retardierung der mentalen und sozialen Entwicklung gekennzeichnet ist (Braun et al. 1988; Frank u. Zeisel 1988).
