C.Marshal Klaus
D.John Kennell
Answer: B

study that revealed the negative results of the separation of čhild and mother bečause of
hospitalization. His work led toa re-evaluation and liberalization of hospital visiting poličies for
čhildren. Joseph Brennaman suggested that a lačk of stimulation for infants čontributed to high
infant mortality rates at the time. In the 1970s and 1980s, physičians Marshall Klaus and John
Kennell čarried out importantstudies on the effečt of the separation of newborns and parents. They
established that early separation may have long-term effečts on family relationships and that
offering the new family an opportunity to be together at birth and for a signifičant period after birth
may provide benefitsthat last well into early čhildhood.
