Writing the history of mental disorders is an unfinishable task. Each historical period is expected to write its own, and in a style designed to satisfy its own conceptual and social needs. In the 21st century such a historical account seems to be one that conceives of mental disorders as natural kinds, that is, as entities that for their meaning and ...

A History of Mental Retardation
2019Mental retardation is arbitrarily and conventionally defined by an intelligence quotient (IQ) of less than 70. It would therefore seem logical that a history of mental retardation be preceded by a brief history of mental normality and even of mental superiority, coinciding to a large extent with the emergence and consolidation of the concept of IQ ...

A social history of serious mental illness
CNS Spectrums, 2020Despite medical, technological, and humanitarian advances, the criminalization of those with serious mental illness continues. This is not an isolated phenomenon.

A History of Mental Retardation
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1984This is indeed a history. The facts are presented with that quality of assurance rooted in thorough research.

The reader is coerced into acknowledging a very specific form of man's inhumanity to man that has persisted for ...

What is the end result of perception? What is the output of linguistic comprehension? How do we anticipate the world, and make sensible decisions about what to do? What underlies thinking and reasoning? One answer to these questions is that we rely on mental models of the world. Perception yields a mental model, linguistic comprehension yields a mental

History of mental retardation: An essay review.
History of Psychology, 1999The history of mental retardation previously focused on residential institutions and the ideas of professionals. Given that the vast majority of people with mental retardation lived in their family homes or other locations in their communities, this emphasis has been misleading. Recent historical studies by James W. Trent Jr.; Philip M.

The History of Mentalities: The New Map of Cultural History
History and Theory, 1981A few years ago, French historians began using the expression "history of mentalities" to characterize their work in the field of intellectual history. While awkward in French and infelicitous in English translation, the phrase has survived; for it expresses a need to assign autonomy to a kind of historical inquiry which offers new perspectives on the ...
