The Mentally Defective Child; Written Specially for School Teachers and Others Interested in the Educational Treatment and After-care of Mentally Defe

By Meredith Young

The Mentally Defective Child, written by Meredith Young and originally published in 1916, provides insights into the educational treatment and after-care of mentally defective school children. Specifically aimed at school teachers and those involved in the care of children with intellectual disabilities, this vintage volume offers a glimpse into the approaches and understandings prevalent in the early 20th century.

Young's work provides historical context for the evolution of special education and child psychology, offering valuable perspectives on the methods employed at a time when societal understanding of mental health was markedly different. It provides a fascinating, if at times unsettling, view on the historic perception and treatment of children diagnosed with intellectual disabilities.
