Some interesting data points:

Spock: "For many years Spock lived aboard his sailboat, the Carapace, in the British Virgin Islands, off Tortola...Spock had a second sailboat named Turtle, which he lived aboard and sailed in Maine in the summers. They lived only on boats, with no house, for most of 20 years." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Spock

Brazelton: "From 1945, after war service in the U.S. Navy, he completed his medical residency in Boston Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) before undertaking pediatric training at Children's Hospital of Boston. He entered private practice in 1950, in Cambridge, Massachusetts. His interest in child development led to training in child psychiatry at MGH and the James Jackson Putnam Children's Center. He subsequently served as a Fellow with Professor Jerome Bruner at the Center for Cognitive Studies at Harvard University, then combined his interests in primary care pediatrics and child psychiatry and in 1972 established the Child Development Unit, a pediatric training and research center at Children's Hospital in Boston. Since 1988, he has been Clinical Professor of Pediatrics Emeritus at Harvard Medical School." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T._Berry_Brazelton

Boston Children’s Hospital is where Justina Pelletier was medically kidnapped and made a ward of the state. It is part of the Harvard Medical School system, with strong ties to funding from the federal government and home to the world’s largest research enterprise based at a pediatric hospital: http://healthimpactnews.com/2014/justina-pelletier-finally-leaves-boston-childrens-hospital-but-not-returned-to-parents/

From Boston Children's Hospital Clinical Investigation Policy and Procedure Manual: https://postimg.cc/image/kwwbu5c3b/

Children who are Wards of the state may be included in research that presents greater than minimal risk with no prospect of direct benefit (46.406 (50.53) or 46.407 ( 50.54) only if the IRB determines and documents that such research is

Conducted in schools, camps, hospital, institutions, or similar settings in which the majority of children involved as participants are not wards.

If wards are to be included in research with no prospect of direct benefit, the IRB shall appoint an advocate for each child who is a ward. The advocate will serve in addition to any other individual acting on behalf of the child as guardian or in loco parentis..."

Lookee here what James Putnam did research with and wrote a book about:

Putnam, James J. Report on Electro-therapeutics (Containing Some Final Alterations). Boston, 1873.

Very interesting find and previous thread. Wish I could find the text of that book. I did find that Putnam was a big Freud fan:

"Putnam was one of those instrumental in bringing Sigmund Freud to the United States...He also wrote the introduction to the translation from the German of Sigmund Freud's Three Contributions to the Theory of Sex." https://everipedia.org/wiki/James_Jackson_Putnam/

From a synopsis of Freud's "Three Contributions...": https://everipedia.org/wiki/Three_Essays_on_the_Theory_of_Sexuality/

"Discussing the choice of children and animals as sex objects — pedophilia and bestiality — he notes that most people would prefer to limit these perversions to the insane "on aesthetic grounds" but that they exist in normal people also."

...and

"His second essay, on "Infantile Sexuality", argues that children have sexual urges...Looking at children, Freud identified many forms of infantile sexual emotions, including thumb sucking, autoeroticism, and sibling rivalry."

Check out my reply to Carmencita. I found that Hillary got her idea for the "it takes a village" from one of Putnam's books.

That seems to be a different Putnam.

Is it? I googled Robert D. Putnam and Hillary Clinton and that was one of the articles that popped up.

That many? I think it's closer to 407 but that's not a lot of Sanctuaries.
