Description
In the early twentieth century, affection between parents and their children was
discouraged—psychologists thought it would create needy kids, and doctors thought it would
spread infectious disease. It took a revolution in psychology to overturn these beliefs and
prove that touch ensures emotional and intellectual health. In Love at Goon Park, Pulitzer
Prize winner Deborah Blum charts this profound cultural shift by tracing the story of Harry
Harlow—the man who studied neglect and its life-altering consequences on primates in his
lab. The biography of both a man and an idea, Love at Goon Park ultimately invites us to
examine ourselves and the way we love.
