Anyone heard of this guy. He was a psychoanalyst and associate of Bowlby. He did work looking at the effect of separation of children from their parent's when children went into hospital in the 1950's. In those days parents could not stay with their children overnight and visiting hours very restricted. This continued into the 1970's in some hospitals.
He made a film of a 2yo girl called Laura in 1952. From wikipedia
"Laura, aged 2, is in hospital for 8 days to have a minor operation. She is too young to understand her mother's absence. Because her mother is not there and the nurses change frequently, she has to face the fears, frights and hurts with no familiar person to cling to. She is extremely upset by a rectal anaesthetic. Then she becomes quiet and "settles". But at the end of her stay she is withdrawn from her mother, shaken in her trust."
Just wondering if anyone knows of work in this field...
