Elyse Schein and Paula Bernstein are identical twins who were separated at birth and later reunited as adults. Their story gained attention when they discovered they had been part of a controversial study by Dr. Peter Neubauer, a psychologist who researched twins and their development. Their experiences and the impact of their separation led them to co-author the book titled "Identical Strangers: A Memoir of Twins Separated and Reunited," which details their journey and the emotional complexities of their reunion. The twins have also been involved in discussions about the ethical implications of separation studies.
