Excerpt from Problems of Subnormality
Logically the most basal of these four questions is the first one. It is idle to hope properly to segregate children or adults for special educational or social treatment, or to attempt to eliminate their strains, unless such persons have first been accurately diagnosed. No well-informed person would deny that the accurate mental diagnosis of children in the schools, and of child and adult offenders in the courts, is of the greatest practical importance not only to the individual concerned but also to the state, the nation, and the family. A misdiagnosis will often result in consequences which may prove inimical not only to the individual concerned but also to society. Too much time, therefore, cannot be given to the perfection of the methods and standards of psychological diagnosis.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. 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. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
