| Popis: | The consulting psychologist is frequently asked to make recommendations as to the institutionalization of a retarded child. This action is only too often undertaken without full consideration of all the factors involved. Available research data are not consonant with the assertion that institutional placement is likely to benefit the retardate or that it is necessitated by social circumstances, in preference to hospital or prison placement. The ethical implications of recommended institutionalization are discussed. |
