The Twinning Reaction

In 1960 two prominent psychoanalysts began a secret study involving orphaned babies from a New York City adoption agency. The doctors separated at least five sets of twins and triplets, never telling the adoptive parents their child had an “other.” This documentary tells the stories of four sets of identical twins and triplets separated by the Louise Wise Services adoption agency.
