Studies using nonhuman primates have facilitated our understanding of human psychopathology and in particular have provided some models of abnormal behavior occurring in the young, developing organism. The theoretical linkages between abnormal behavior in rhesus monkeys and in human beings are discussed. Two research areas are cited as examples where experiments with monkeys have provided some reasonable models for human psychopathology. These two areas are total social isolation and disruption of affectional bonds between mothers and infants or between peers. Finally, the philosophical issues concerning the production of experimental psychopathology in animals are discussed and criteria presented to guide future research in this area.
