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.
