Inventing the Feeble Mind
Author: James Trent
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199396205
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 393
Book Description
Pity, disgust, fear, cure, and prevention--all are words that Americans have used to make sense of what today we call intellectual disability. Inventing the Feeble Mind explores the history of this disability from its several identifications over the past 200 years: idiocy, imbecility, feeblemindedness, mental defect, mental deficiency, mental retardation, and most recently intellectual disability. Using institutional records, private correspondence, personal memories, and rare photographs, James Trent argues that the economic vulnerability of intellectually disabled people (and often their families), more than the claims made for their intellectual and social limitations, has shaped meaning, services, and policies in United States history.

Pages : 244
Book Description
Excerpt from Insane and Feeble-Minded in Hospitals and Institutions, 1904 The conditions under which the statistics contained in this present report were collected necessitated some departures from previous methods of enumerating the insane. The census act of March 6, 1902, provided that the statistics of special classes, including the insane, should be restricted to institutions containing such classes, and that the enumeration should not be undertaken until after the completion of the census of population, agriculture, and manufactures. This pre cluded the employment of the usual census enumera tors. Instead, the schedules were filled out for each institution by the head or a subordinate designated for this purpose as a special agent of the Bureau of the Census.
