Inventing the Feeble Mind: A History of Mental Retardation in the United StatesUniversity of California Press, 1994 M03 16 - 356 páginas James W.

He contends that the economic vulnerability of mentally retarded people (and their families), more than the claims made for their intellectual or social limitations, has determined their institutional treatment. |
