The Twins Who Found Each Other [antikvár]

INTRODUCTIONAmong all the human subjects studied by geneticists, psychologists and other scientists with a view to throwing light on the inherent nature of human behavior, the most interesting may well have been identical twins who were separated in infancy and not brought together again until they were adults. The histories of such twinsonly a few score have been recordedhave contributed greatly to our understanding of the relative influences of heredity and environment in making individuals what they are. Now, in the most recent of these case histories as reported by Bard Lindeman, we have perhaps the most thorough and perceptive account ever written about the lives of long-separated and then reunited twins. It is not only an engrossing narrative but a human document which will have special meaning for all who are personally or professionally concerned with twins and their problems.The unusual story of these twins, Tony Milasi and Roger Brooks, comes at a time when various educators and psychologists have been stressing mainly the negative aspects of twin-ship and urging parents to rear them as differently as possible never dressing them the same, separating them in school, and discouraging any undue closeness between themlest5
