- A scholarly article on Attachment by Peter Fonagy,
PhD, is available at the

monkeys. These sad experiments contributed to our understanding of
attachment. In 1958, he wrote about his experiments in a scholarly paper
found at the
Classics in the History of Psychology web site. This paper will be
especially valuable to students who would like to learn more about
Harlow's research.
