Product Description

Review

'It fills a gap in our knowledge with careful scholarship, and it challenges our preconceptions and assumptions. The book should be required reading for anyone interested in disability history or contemporary understandings of the learning difficulties experience.' - Disability & Society, Vol. 12, No. 4, 1997.

'The authors are mostly historians, and so view and analyse data in a way that can be refreshingly novel for doctors. I recommend this book for departmental libraries because it will enable practitioners to see today's political debates and their own value-base in context.' - The British Journal of Psychiatry


Product Description

This is the first book devoted to the social history of people with learning disabilities in Britain. Spanning the Medieval period to the establishment of the National Health Service, this volume illuminates and informs current debates.
