"At present, everybody has the right to full participation and life in society. One of the important areas of human life includes partnerships and sexuality. However, in persons with intellectual disability, this has been taboo until recently. For some time, researchers have tried to analyse this area both in terms of theory and practical implementation. The monograph deals with partnerships, intimacy and sexuality of people with mental disabilities in the context of the latest knowledge and research results. It defines first the theoretical background, and finally presents the conclusions of a research study implemented by means of quantitative and qualitative methods in the area of sexuality of persons with intellectual disability."-- Provided by publisher.

"This book of reprinted articles from the journal "L'Anně Psychologique" as a whole constitutes a complete history and exposition of the Measuring Scale as Binet left it. In Chapter I the authors show the origin of the Scale and their first methods of attacking the problem. Chapter II describes the first results--a series of test questions arranged in order of difficulty but not yet assigned to definite years. An immense amount of work had been done on this series, and the authors may have been justly proud of what they had accomplished, though it was soon to be largely discarded for a much more useful plan. This was the so called "1905 Tests." Chapter III shows the laborious and painstaking methods of standardization. Nowhere does Binet more clearly show his genius. It is here that he has taught us the method which must be used in all extensions or revisions of the Scale, that lay any claim to scientific value. In Chapter IV he gives us the Measuring Scale for Intelligence--the so called 1908 Scale. It is the most complete statement of the Scale. Chapter V gives some of his later 1911 corrections and revisions--his last word on the subject. In making up this book we have attempted to include everything Binet and Simon wrote explanatory of the Scale. The reader will find many repetitions and some contradictions, and the date of each article should be taken into account in deciding which is the authoritative statement. It has been thought best to include all of these repetitions and contradictions, in order to show the development of Binet's own thought in regard to his Scale. Only in this way does the marvelous work that he did on this subject become fully appreciated"--Introduction. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved).

"The clinical study of borderline and exceptional cases of mental defect has led me to undertake a critical evaluation of the several criteria of feeble-mindedness which are commonly employed in mental diagnosis. The exact worth of each of these criteria and their combinations has not been subjected to the rigid inspection which is necessary for scientific method, nor have the specific values of their claims to attention been challenged. In this book I have presented the major diagnostic criteria of feeble-mindedness and the corresponding clinical methods, and have examined the real contribution of each to individual diagnosis, both clinically and theoretically. The manuscript was originally composed for those who are studying feeblemindedness in any of its many ramifications. It was first prepared as a technical contribution designed to answer some of the puzzling questions which arise in clinical mental diagnosis. This book is not constructed after the plan of the usual type of classroom text-book, but may be used as a lecture text. The detailed references and representative bibliography afford material for student practice in library follow-up, and at the same time permit of considerable choice of reading material. The illustrations represent concrete material, such as cases, types, and field trips. A glossary of terms and a glossary of tests are appended for the use of readers not professionally versed in clinical psychology"--Preface.

"The information most eagerly sought by those entering upon the work among the feeble-minded is naturally how to easily recognize the various forms of mental defect, in order that they may define, and meet promptly, the special needs of those with whom they are brought in daily contact. To this end, types of various grades are useful as sign-posts pointing the way to successful diagnosis of defect-mental, moral and physical. In defining types many points, such as have been indicated by tests, as well as by the stigmata of degeneration noted in the individual, are to be considered. Appended herewith will be found the educational classification, which, as the outgrowth of a close study of cases and careful adaptation to needs-indorsed by both physicians and teachers-has proven in a long experience the best one as simplifying the tasks of all engaged in the work. This classification is arrived at by first separating broadly the untrainable idiot from the trainable imbecile in asylum, custodial, and school division; next by dividing the imbeciles into grades of mentality for the awakening and further development of power along lines suited to the capacity of each; and finally by indicating possible training for life work in industrial or manual lines according to individual proclivity"--Foreword.
