Harry Harlow
Harry Harlow famously experimented on Rhesus Macaque monkeys in isolation, and monkeys with surrogate objects in place of mothers. These studies were motivated by John Bowlby's World Health Organization-sponsored study and report, "Maternal Care and Mental Health" in 1950, in which Bowlby reviewed previous studies on the effects of institutionalization on child development. Though not necessarily directly applicable to humans, his work strengthened the body of evidence concerning maternal deprivation and lasting psychological damage.

Famous quotes containing the word harry:
“It is now many years that men have resorted to the forest for fuel and the materials of the arts: the New Englander and the New Hollander, the Parisian and the Celt, the farmer and Robin Hood, Goody Blake and Harry Gill; in most parts of the world, the prince and the peasant, the scholar and the savage, equally require still a few sticks from the forest to warm them and cook their food. Neither could I do without them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
