Raised in Fear

By: Scott Lustig, Urban Action Engine

 

 

For more than 30 years at the State University of New

York (SUNY) Health Science Center in Brooklyn,

Professor Leonard Rosenblum has been tearing baby

monkeys away from their mothers to study the effects

of maternal deprivation on the development of panic

and other anxiety disorders in children, and to

investigate the workings of these disorders. But 50

years of research from clinical (human) studies have

already demonstrated that children raised in stressful

conditions and denied their mother's attention are

more likely to develop anxiety disorders in later

life. Still, the monkey experiments continue at public

expense, mostly in the form of National Institutes of

Health grants totaling $1.4 million over the last 10

years.

 

In his most common experiments on monkey " models, "

Rosenblum forces macaque mothers and infants to live

with unpredictable access to food. At first, the

mothers find food easily. Then the food is hidden and

dispersed, making it hard to gather. The mother

monkeys must repeatedly endure this alternating

access. Unable to feed their infants regularly, the

mothers suffer constant anxiety. The babies, deprived

of their mothers, become isolated and withdrawn. These

normally playful and curious infants sit hunched over,

crying, shaking, and clasping themselves. When the

infants' mother returns, they cling to her

desperately, never knowing when she will unpredictably

be forced away from them again.
