Book excerpt: Excerpt from Summaries of State Laws Relating to the Feebleminded and the Epileptic The National Committee for Mental Hygiene is pledged among other things "to work for the conservation of mental health and to help raise the standard of care for those suffering from nervous disorders, mental disease and mental deficiency." As a contribution towards these purposes, it presents this volume, summarizing the laws relating to the commitment and care of the feebleminded and epileptic in the United States. Mental disorders have always been made the subject of public supervision and the legislation relating to them is a good criterion of the development and progress of the various states in the care given the mentally defective. The states with the most highly developed systems and the best and most complete laws for the care and treatment of defectives are the states that have caused time to be devoted to investigations upon the causes of the defects and the best methods of caring for the sufferers. The states with no, or insufficient legislation relating to the feebleminded and epileptic have failed to take cognizance of the nature of the diseases' and have not taken the proper and most modern steps in institutional care. A number of the institutions for the feebleminded are intended only for those "who may be benefited by instruction," and provision is made for the removal of all patients when they may no longer receive benefit from training. Other institutions deny admission to epileptics. Many states realize that nearly all forms of mental deficiency are incurable, and have provided for perpetual institutional care and segregation. In the framing of the laws relating to the feebleminded and epileptic, there has been a tendency to copy general features from the laws relating to the insane, and from the laws of, other states. In most cases the result has been that a system of wholly inadequate laws has resulted from this hasty and unsystematic law making. With the exception of the laws of a few of the leading states, which have highly developed systems for the care and treatment of the feebleminded and epileptic, the laws present a chaotic mass, which it has been exceedingly difficult to survey and reduce to comparable dimensions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pity, disgust, fear, cure, and prevention--all are words that Americans have used to make sense of what today we call intellectual disability. Inventing the Feeble Mind explores the history of this disability from its several identifications over the past 200 years: idiocy, imbecility, feeblemindedness, mental defect, mental deficiency, mental retardation, and most recently intellectual disability. Using institutional records, private correspondence, personal memories, and rare photographs, James Trent argues that the economic vulnerability of intellectually disabled people (and often their families), more than the claims made for their intellectual and social limitations, has shaped meaning, services, and policies in United States history.

Book excerpt: One of America's great miscarriages of justice, the Supreme Court's infamous 1927 Buck v. Bell ruling made government sterilization of "undesirable" citizens the law of the land New York Times bestselling author Adam Cohen tells the story in Imbeciles of one of the darkest moments in the American legal tradition: the Supreme Court's decision to champion eugenic sterilization for the greater good of the country. In 1927, when the nation was caught up in eugenic fervor, the justices allowed Virginia to sterilize Carrie Buck, a perfectly normal young woman, for being an "imbecile." It is a story with many villains, from the superintendent of the Dickensian Virginia Colony for Epileptics and Feebleminded who chose Carrie for sterilization to the former Missouri agriculture professor and Nazi sympathizer who was the nation's leading advocate for eugenic sterilization. But the most troubling actors of all were the eight Supreme Court justices who were in the majority - including William Howard Taft, the former president; Louis Brandeis, the legendary progressive; and Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., America's most esteemed justice, who wrote the decision urging the nation to embark on a program of mass eugenic sterilization. Exposing this tremendous injustice--which led to the sterilization of 70,000 Americans--Imbeciles overturns cherished myths and reappraises heroic figures in its relentless pursuit of the truth. With the precision of a legal brief and the passion of a front-page exposé, Cohen's Imbeciles is an unquestionable triumph of American legal and social history, an ardent accusation against these acclaimed men and our own optimistic faith in progress.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Illiberal Reformers, Thomas Leonard reexamines the economic progressives whose ideas and reform agenda underwrote the Progressive Era dismantling of laissez-faire and the creation of the regulatory welfare state, which, they believed, would humanize and rationalize industrial capitalism. But not for all. Academic social scientists such as Richard T. Ely, John R. Commons, and Edward A. Ross, together with their reform allies in social work, charity, journalism, and law, played a pivotal role in establishing minimum-wage and maximum-hours laws, workmen's compensation, progressive income taxes, antitrust regulation, and other hallmarks of the regulatory welfare state. But even as they offered uplift to some, economic progressives advocated exclusion for others, and did both in the name of progress. Leonard meticulously reconstructs the influence of Darwinism, racial science, and eugenics on scholars and activists of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, revealing a reform community deeply ambivalent about America's poor. Economic progressives championed labor legislation because it would lift up the deserving poor while excluding immigrants, African Americans, women, and 'mental defectives, ' whom they vilified as low-wage threats to the American workingman and to Anglo-Saxon race integrity. Economic progressives rejected property and contract rights as illegitimate barriers to needed reforms. But their disregard for civil liberties extended much further. Illiberal Reformers shows that the intellectual champions of the regulatory welfare state proposed using it not to help those they portrayed as hereditary inferiors, but to exclude them. -- Provided by publisher.
