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 ...

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.

A History of Mental Retardation
2019Mental retardation is arbitrarily and conventionally defined by an intelligence quotient (IQ) of less than 70.

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 unfolding of these facts creates an impact as strong as it is unexpected, given the unobtrusive prose style of the author. The reader is coerced into acknowledging a very specific form of man's inhumanity to man that has persisted for ...

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.
