About this title

Synopsis:

James W. Trent uses public documents, private letters, investigative reports, and rare photographs to explore our changing perceptions of mental retardation over the past 150 years. 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.

About the Author:

James W. Trent, Jr. is Professor of Sociology and Social Work at Gordon College, Wenham Massachusetts. He is also the co-editor of Mental Retardation in America: A Historical Reader, and the author of The Manliest Man: Samuel G. Howe and the Contours of Nineteenth-Century American Reform.
