Dear Friends:
Deborah Blum's book, "Love at Goon Park", is awesome, particularly for its
first chapter that describes some of the history of distance in parenting,
the attitude that mothers are bad for babies, and the link between sterility
and health in the 1900s.
It was thought that babies did not love their mothers; the behaviorists
in the 1930s were of the persuasion that babies learned to love their mothers
because their mothers fed them. This was common thought, until Harlow's
research showed that babies clung to the cloth mothers, even when the wire mother
was the one that 'fed' them.
warmly,
