Summary
In chapter 6, Slater talks about the experiments conducted by Harry Harlow. These experiments were conducted in order to discover the nature of love and attachment in human beings (by observing primate interactions. However, some of them were morally wrong, produced failed results, and in some instances did not posses a clear objective.
