Synopsis

This book aims to improve our understanding of the concept of mental subnormality and underpins this aim through scientific investigation. The author comprehensively explores four fundamental questions about this group of people: how best to diagnose the different degrees and types of mental subnormality; how to implement differentiated educational treatment in accordance with the diagnosis; what systems of care, guidance, and control are most effective; and how to reduce mental deficiencies through preventative measures. The author presents a detailed discussion of the psychological and hereditary factors influencing this condition, providing valuable insights. A scale for the upper threshold of feeble-mindedness is proposed, which is expected to stimulate further research. The book emphasizes the need for well-trained professionals in this field and highlights the importance of research in the development of differential diagnostic norms and adequate training for experts in psychoeducational and psychosocial diagnosis. It serves as a valuable resource for psychologists, teachers, physicians, and social workers.
