This book examines the history of the social construction of 'mental deficiency' through the lens of Victorian-era institutionalization practices. The author's historical survey analyzes cases and reports from institutions like Massachusetts' own Waverly School for the Feeble-Minded. The text highlights the role of social biases in the classification of individuals as 'feeble-minded,' and considers the lasting impact that such classifications have had on affected individuals. The work is a valuable contribution to the history of institutionalization and disability studies.
