Helper Haven experimental baby therapy
In 1988, a psychologist associated with the former Helper Haven children's home in Groningen said that experimental therapy had actually been applied to the little ones in the home in the 1960s. What such therapies meant and caused for children is unknown.
This unique testimony project shows a two-sided picture, on the one hand, existence in the children's home, and on the other hand, the influence of babies during therapy.
