Deborah Blum, a freelancer and journalism professor at the University of Wisconsin, has written a biography of Harry Harlow. He was, according to Blum, a frustrated poet — sarcastic, work-obsessed, and alcoholic — and yet he was a brilliant psychologist who helped lead a revolution in the understanding of relationships and connections.
