Description - From Idiocy to Mental Deficiency: Historical Perspectives on People with Learning Disabilities by Anne Digby

This text outlines the social history of people with learning disabilities in Britain. Over the last decade, approaches to learning disabilities have changed dramatically in most western countries; it has become one of the most fascinating and controversial areas in social policy today. This collection brings nine original essays together, spanning the Medieval period to the establishment of the National Health Service. Whilst contributing to a neglected field of social and medical history, the work also informs current debates.
