Equal Treatment for People with Mental Retardation: Having and Raising Children Paperback - 2001
by Martha A. Field; Valerie A. Sanchez
From the jacket flap
Despite the progress of the normalization movement, which has moved so many people with mental retardation into the mainstream since the 1960s, negative myths about production and child rearing among this population persist. Martha Field and Valerie Sanchez trace these prejudices to the eugenics movement of the late nineteenth and early centuries. They show how misperceptions have led to inconsistent and discriminatory outcomes when third parties seek to make birth control or parenting decisions for people with mental retardation. And they explore the effect of these decisions on those purport to protect. Detailed, thorough, and just, their book is in effect a sustained argument for reform of the legal practices and social policies it describes.
