Reviews for Intellectual Disability: Ethics, Dehumanization, and a New Moral Community
The best use of this valuable contribution may be to disseminate it to the decision makers, legislators, and health care providers and, most importantly, to the educators and trainers who can extract the gems from this treasure chest to increase the wealth of knowledge and improve the awareness of direct workers, families, medical/behavioral health students, and community members about people with intellectual disabilities. In addition, this book could be used to correct a significant concern regarding the professionals who provide services to this population. (PsycCRITIQUES, 28 April 2014) This well-thought-out reference is grounded in thorough research with an engaging narrative. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower-level undergraduates and above; general readers. (Choice, 1 March 2014) It is entirely refreshing to read about intellectual disability from a philosophical and social perspective. I would recommend this book to anyone with an interest in intellectual disability (be it clinical, academic or personal). It is a useful piece of literature that will aid anyone involved in this field to more readily appreciate the social, moral and historical context of intellectual disability, while providing a useful framework to consider for the future.
