Social Recovery of Monkeys Isolated for the First Year of Life: I. Rehabilitation and Therapy
I. Rehabilitation and Therapy
Book •
Harry Harlow's research, published in Developmental Psychology in 1975, details a study on the effects of social isolation on rhesus monkeys.
The study involved isolating infant monkeys for their first year of life and then observing their social recovery when introduced to younger, 'therapist' monkeys.
The findings highlighted the importance of early social interaction for healthy development and the potential for rehabilitation through interaction with peers.
Harlow's work significantly contributed to our understanding of attachment theory and the impact of early experiences on social behavior.
His methods, while controversial today, provided valuable insights into the development of social skills and emotional well-being.
