Description
This sociological study provides a comprehensive overview of institutions for people with mental disabilities in England and Wales. Published in 1969, it offers a detailed examination of the facilities, staff, and social environment within these institutions.
Dr. Pauline Morris's investigation covered nearly half of the hospitals for the sub-normal in the country, revealing shocking findings that highlight the need for further research into the effectiveness of these institutions. The study aims to provide reliable estimates of the scale and severity of certain problems affecting this group of handicapped individuals.
By exploring the physical, occupational, and educational facilities available to patients, as well as their social environment and relationship with the outside community, Dr. Morris sheds light on the complex issues surrounding institutional care for people with mental disabilities.
