Besides, what was “love” anyway? Just a convenient name for children seeking food and adults seeking sex. His experiments and results shocked the world, and Wire Mothers & Inanimate Arms will shock you as well.. He was a deeply unhappy man who knew in his gut the truth about what love — and its absence — meant, and set about to prove it. It took an outsider scientist to challenge it. Psychologists know best, of course, and in the 1950s they warned parents about the dangers of too much love. When Harry Harlow began his e
