We take it for granted today that babies need love. But less
than a century ago, psychologists warned women against
showing their children "too much affection"-predicting dire
consequences ranging from deadly disease to sexual
dysfunction in adulthood. The story of how this conventional
wisdom was finally shattered takes us into the life and the
laboratory of Harry Harlow-workaholic, alcoholic, brilliant
and brave, capable of caustic wit and cruelty-and into an
era in which the scientific establishment was just beginning
to understand the power of human emotion.
