PBS: This Emotional Life

This is a link to the first part of a new special on PBS (recommended to me by friend and Temple Clinical Psychology graduate student Kendra Read) that deals with "Friends, Family and Lovers." The first part of this three-part series features one of the professors and researchers I've applied to work with in graduate school, Seth Pollak at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. He looks at children adopted from Easter European institutions (orphanages) and the difficulties they face due to an inability to form attachments early on. He's really great, and if you get a chance, you should check out the really interesting special.
