Robertson & Robertson noticed quality of care in hospitals was not very good
Wanted to investigate if negative effects of separation could be reduced if infant was given good quality of care
Jane, Lucy, Thomas and Kate
The Robertsons fostered all four children under 3 years of age for up to 4 weeks whilst their mother's were in hospital
They attempted to keep routines similar and give a high level of substitute care
Father's visited regularly to maintain links with home and Kate visited mother in hospital which settled her
Showed some signs of distress but slept well and did not reject mothers on return
