Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the realm of intellectual disabilities, exploring the minds of those categorized as 'feeble-minded' during the early 20th century. The author, a pioneer in the field of psychology, challenges prevailing notions and misconceptions surrounding intellectual disabilities, offering instead a nuanced understanding based on meticulous observation and insightful analysis. Through detailed case studies and scientific investigations, the book examines the characteristics of various types of 'feeble-mindedness,' including idiots, imbeciles, and morons, as they were then classified. The author explores diverse aspects of their mental functioning, such as attention, character, voluntary effort, and language ability. By comparing the intellectual development of these individuals to that of normal children, the author constructs a 'psychogenetic' method, shedding light on the stages and mechanisms of mental evolution. The book critically examines the relationship between character and intelligence, questioning oversimplified assumptions about 'anti-social' or 'extra-social' behaviors. Instead, it emphasizes the complex interplay of individual dispositions, social environments, and specific circumstances in shaping the actions of those with intellectual disabilities. This groundbreaking work offers invaluable insights into the nature of intellectual disabilities, dispelling myths and fostering a more compassionate and informed perspective on the diverse spectrum of human intelligence.
