Maria Carolina Pinheiro

Dr. Maria Carolina Pinheiro is a psychiatrist and university professor who specializes in attachment theory, examining how early relationships influence adult emotional connections. In the context of the rising phenomenon of 'reborn doll mothers,' she explores the therapeutic potential of these hyper-realistic dolls for individuals dealing with emotional loss or unmet maternal desires, arguing for a nuanced understanding of this trend as a social phenomenon rather than a mental health disorder.
