Accidental Brothers

Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 343
Book Description
"A unique window into human behavior and development." —Steven Pinker The riveting story of two sets of identical twins separated at birth and improbably reunited as adults, a dream case for exploring nature and nurture. Accidental Brothers tells the unique story of two sets of identical Colombian twin brothers who discovered at age 25 that they were mistakenly raised as fraternal twins—when they were not even biological brothers. Due to an oversight that presumably occurred in the hospital nursery, one twin in each pair was switched with a twin in the other pair. The result was two sets of unrelated “fraternal” twins—Jorge and Carlos, who were raised in the lively city of Bogotá; and William and Wilber, who were raised in the remote rural village of La Paz, 150 miles away. Their parents and siblings were aware of the enormous physical and behavioral differences between the members of each set, but never doubted that the two belonged in their biological families. Everyone’s life unraveled when one of the twins—William—was mistaken by a young woman for his real identical twin, Jorge. Her “discovery” led to the truth—that the alleged twins were not twins at all, but rather unrelated individuals who ended up with the wrong families. Blending great science and human interest, Accidental Brothers by Nancy L. Segal and Yesika S. Montoya will inform and entertain anyone interested in how twin studies illuminate the origins of human behavior, as well as mother-infant identification and the chance events that can have profound consequences on our lives.

Pages : 102
Book Description
Fayth finds herself ensnared, a helpless captive in Sergei's iron grip. Her father's colossal debt has shackled her existence to this formidable man she dare not confront head-on. Sergei exudes an aura of ruthless power, his volatile temperament and unyielding demands creating an air of palpable tension. And yet, Fayth's heart betrays her, drawn irresistibly to the enigmatic Russian. He looms over her, a towering presence adorned with perfectly sculpted muscles, his hypnotizing green eyes penetrating her very soul. Thoughts of him consume her every waking moment, an intoxicating obsession she cannot deny. However, the opulent confines of Sergei's sprawling estate, though filled with opulence and extravagance, fail to provide true happiness. Only Sergei himself holds the key to her heart, if only he wasn't such an infuriatingly cocksure jerk. Meanwhile, Sergei finds himself helplessly ensnared by the magnetic pull of Fayth. Her ebony skin, intricately braided hair, and alluring caramel eyes bewitch him, stoking a fervent obsession that defies reason. Yet, he remains painfully aware of Fayth's simmering resentment towards her coerced role as his collateral. Beneath her sweetness lies a storm of contempt, a raging fire he cannot fully comprehend. Sergei, true to his audacious nature, navigates the treacherous game without a concrete plan, relying on his instinctive charm and cunning. He caters to Fayth's every whim, indulging her desires with unwavering dedication, except when it comes to leaving the sanctuary they've carved for themselves. The outside world teems with peril, and Sergei will stop at nothing to shield her from the countless ruthless adversaries who thirst for his blood and seek to extinguish the flame of love that burns between them.

ISBN: 1538132869
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 521
Book Description
A 2022 Choice Reviews Outstanding Academic Title Takes the first in-depth look at the New York City adoption agency that separated twins and triplets in the 1960s, and the controversial and disturbing study that tracked the children’s development while never telling their adoptive parents that they were raising a “singleton twin.” In the early 1960s, the head of a prominent New York City Child Development Center and a psychiatrist from Columbia University launched a study designed to track the development of twins and triplets given up for adoption and raised by different families. The controversial and disturbing catch? None of the adoptive parents had been told that they were raising a twin—the study’s investigators insisted that the separation be kept secret. Here, Nancy Segal reveals the inside stories of the agency that separated the twins, and the collaborating psychiatrists who, along with their cadre of colleagues, observed the twins until they turned twelve. This study, far outside the mainstream of scientific twin research, was not widely known to scholars or the general public until it caught the attention of documentary filmmakers whose recent films, Three Identical Strangers and The Twinning Reaction,left viewers shocked, angered, saddened and wanting to know more. Interviews with colleagues, friends and family members of the agency’s psychiatric consultant and the study’s principal investigator, as well as a former agency administrator, research assistants, journalists, ethicists, attorneys, and—most importantly--the twins and their families who were unwitting participants in this controversial study, are riveting. Through records, letters and other documents, Segal further discloses the investigators’ attempts to engage other agencies in separating twins, their efforts to avoid media exposure, their worries over informed consent issues in the 1970s and the steps taken toward avoiding lawsuits while hoping to enjoy the fruits of publication. Segal's spellbinding stories of the twins’ separation, loss and reunion offers readers the behind-the-scenes details that, until now, have been lost to the archives of history.
