About this listen
Harry Harlow, a controversial pioneer in developmental psychology, irrevocably changed our understanding of love's vital role in healthy development. Through his groundbreaking — and often shocking — experiments with rhesus monkeys, Harlow demonstrated the crucial importance of nurturing touch and social connection.
This book delves into the profound influence of Harlow's work:
  • The Wire Mother Experiments: Understand how baby monkeys clung desperately to cloth-covered "mothers," even when only wire mothers provided milk, revealing deep-seated needs beyond basic survival.
  • The Impact of Social Isolation: Discover the devastating effects of isolation on monkeys' social skills, emotional well-being, and ability to parent, underscoring the critical importance of early connection.
  • Attempts at Rehabilitation: Explore Harlow's attempts to reverse the damage and the heartbreaking limitations his isolated monkeys faced.
  • Harlow's Legacy and Ethical Considerations: Grapple with the complex ethical questions raised by Harlow's work and the way it revolutionized how orphanages and hospitals care for children
  • Modern Perspectives on Attachment: Learn about John Bowlby's Attachment Theory and how contemporary research continues to validate the importance of early bonds.
  • Beyond the Monkey Cages: Examine how the need for love and connection echoes throughout the animal kingdom, from primates to birds to our beloved canine companions.
Whether you're a student of psychology, a parent fascinated by child development, or simply someone seeking to understand the profound power of love, this book offers an unforgettable journey into the science of the heart.
