Description

In the early twentieth century, affection between parents and their children was once discouraged—psychologists thought it could create needy kids, and doctors thought it could spread infectious disease. It took a revolution in psychology to overturn these beliefs and turn out 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 tale of Harry Harlow—the person who studied neglect and its life-altering consequences on primates in his lab. The biography of both a man and an concept, Love at Goon Park in the end invites us to inspect ourselves and the way in which we like.
