It's been studied in recent years I think. Past 5ish years? About the effects of emotional neglect with or without abuse, with regards to developing depression and other mental health issues.
Don't quote me though. I search and read in bursts and never remember the dates of publications or study titles.
It's definitely part of the Adverse Childhood Events study:
Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)
I also previously participated in a local group for child abuse survivors (using the World Health Org's
International Questionnaire for ACEs), where sometimes people said the emotional neglect compounded their emotional pain from chronic bullying in schools (folks have been beaten up at school etc) violence at home etc.
