Download or read book Patterns of Care for the Subnormal written by Michael Craft and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patterns of Care for the Subnormal examines the pattern of care for the mentally subnormal in relation to medical, educational, and social services in England and Wales. Topics covered range from variations on the theme of subnormality to the prevalence of mental subnormality, hospital functions, and trends in hospital and community services. A comprehensive service for the subnormal is also considered. Comprised of 10 chapters, this book begins with an analysis of the term subnormal from the educational, legal, sociological, psychological, and administrative perspectives. The discussion then turns to variations on the theme of subnormality by presenting four case histories to illustrate the usage of the term subnormality. Subsequent chapters focus on the prevalence of mental subnormality; trends in a hospital service and in a community service; subnormality admissions to Welsh subnormality hospitals in 1964; and patients needing all types of subnormality hospital care in Wales in 1965. Patterns of subnormality care in other societies are also considered. The final chapter describes a comprehensive service for the subnormal that encompasses prevention and diagnosis as well as education and training, community social services, and full-time care. This monograph will be of interest to doctors, psychologists, educationalists, and administrators.
Download or read book Educational Subnormality written by Sally Tomlinson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 537 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1981. Based on a three-year study of children moving into special ESN-M education in an English city in the mid-1970s, this book questions the whole concept of mild educational subnormality by examining the criteria according to which professionals make decisions to place children within this stigmatised category. It suggests that the beliefs that the professionals hold about the behavioural, family and class characteristics of the children help to determine their judgements, and that these beliefs are related to their own position within the social structure.

Download or read book An Introduction to Educational Psychology written by Edgar Stones and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-05-04 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces students of education to the elements of educational psychology. It also relates as closely as possible the findings of research to classroom practice. In order to make clear the fundamental processes involved in psychological development, the book starts with a study of the way in which the young child adapts its behaviour to its environment. This study considers some of the key aspects of physical development, mainly the central nervous system. At the same time the way physical growth and psychological development are influenced by the experience of the individual is also discussed. This discussion of development is followed by an examination of the processes of learning, with particular attention paid to the works of Piaget. The salient points of each chapter are brought together in a summary which may be used by the reader to obtain a preliminary overview of the content of the chapter, and as an aid to revision.

Book excerpt: First Published in 1978. One of the questions constantly being asked of a psychiatrist is, ‘Are mental illnesses on the increase?’ A second is, ‘Do you think the stress of modern living is responsible for the increase in mental illness?’ This book, which is one of a series on psychiatric illness, takes a cool but compassionate look at the whole field of psychiatric disorder and, in the process, rips away some of the veils of obscurity surrounding it. The series is not primarily designed for medical men, rather, it is designed for the concerned layman—a very wide term. It has been authoritatively calculated that one person in ten in the United Kingdom will enter hospital at some time in life with a predominantly psychological problem, and one in four will consult a doctor at some stage with such a condition.
