I think her treatment of all the issues was fair and balanced.I highly recommend "Love At Goon Park." It's well-written, interesting and important.. What is necessary from a mother and how should the child be pushed into the world with the mother's backing ? What are the biochemical effects and what other sources can bring back a poorly mothered child ? What relatives and friends and environment can make a difference ? Watching monkey families in tough circumstances can tell us what we need to know.Harry Harlow's real life is set against the primate family situations in this compelling story of love's basic place in our lives set against the psychology of the day including other giants such as Bowlby. "Goon Park" takes an unflinching look at Harry Harlow, warts and all. She writes with amazing flair and humanity. I bonded with my father rather than my mother, but this was a very limited relationship because just as I had never seen an example of familial love, neither had my parents. This is a phenomenal book about the necessity oHarry Harlow's experiments, Blum finds in this deeply sympathetic investigation of his life and work, changed all this, conclusively demonstrating that infant monkeys bond emotionally with a specific "mother" a dummy figure made of cloth even if it is not a source of food. His first marriage ended because his wife, who had given up her own promising scientific career, felt he was spending too much time at the lab and not enough at home with the kids. Born Harry Israel, Harlow changed his name because 1930s anti-Semitism prevented him from getting a research position (though he wasn't Jewish).

As Blum shows, Freudian and behavioral psychologists argued for decades that babies were drawn to their mothers only as a source of milIn the early twentieth century, affection between parents and their children was discouraged—psychologists thought it would create needy kids, and doctors thought it would spread infectious disease. It took a revolution in psychology to overturn these beliefs and prove that touch ensures emotional and intellectual health. The biography of both a man and an idea, Love at Goon Park ultimately invites us to examine ourselves and the way we love.. In Love at Goon Park, Pulitzer Prize winner Deborah Blum charts this profound cultural shift by tracing the story of Harry Harlow—the man who studied neglect and its life-altering consequences on primates in his lab
