Description:
"We're People First" fills a void--actually a chasm--in the literature on mental retardation. For most of this century, scientists have focused on the cognitive nature of mental retardation, overlooking how the condition affects real people who lead real lives. Castles awakens us to the fact that our technical knowledge tells only half the story. Her insights into the human side of mental retardation tell the very important other half and can greatly enrich the thinking of scholars, practitioners, and policymakers grappling with issues regarding individual differences in intelligence." - Edward Zigler, Ph.D. Sterling Professor of Psychology, Yale University
