Egan, Matt. "The 'manufacture' of mental defectives in late nineteenth and early twentieth century Scotland." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2001. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/1040/.

Full text
Abstract:
There has recently been a proliferation of historical studies of mental deficiency in late nineteenth and early twentieth century England, exploring the subject within its administrative, medical, educational and social contexts. This thesis contributes to the history of mental deficiency by describing developments that took place in Scotland. It focuses on the sharp increase in the proportion of the Scottish population labelled mentally defective during the period. This increase can be ascribed to the implementation of state policies geared towards the identification and segregation of mental defectives, but it also reflects a tendency amongst influential professional groups (notably, doctors and teachers) to broaden their definition of mental deficiency to include more people of higher ability. People were labelled mentally defective who would not have been regarded as such in earlier years; as one contemporary put it, 'the present policy tends to manufacture mental defectives'. This broadening of definitions occurred within the context of the Poor Law and lunacy administrations, but an analysis of quantitative and qualitative source material shows that it was within the state education system that most of Scotland's mental defectives were initially identified and segregated from their peers. The thesis also describes how various forms of segregated provision for mental defectives developed and expanded in Scotland over the period, taking into account special education, institutionalisation, boarding-out and other community-based forms of care and supervision. Finally, the roles of mental defectives and their families are considered, illustrating how they could influence mental deficiency provision through acts of co-operation and resistance, but also how their influence waned as the state assumed greater powers to intervene in the private lives of its citizens.

Evans, Bonnie Louise. "Mental defectives, childhood psychotics and the origins of autism research at the Maudsley Hospital, 1913-1983." Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2010. https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/252218.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis uses previously unexamined case material from the Maudsley hospital to put forward three central propositions. Firstly, I argue that the implementation and repeal of mental deficiency law in Britain had a direct influence on the establishment of ‘autism’ as a category within child psychiatry. Secondly, I propose that all research in childhood autism has its direct antecedents in research into adult schizophrenia and that the category can never be independent of this history. Finally, I describe how the meaning of autism shifted from a representation of excessive phantasy life and hallucination to a representation of a lack of phantasy life. I argue that this shift was contemporaneous with a growth in epidemiological and statistical studies in child psychiatry from the mid-1960s onwards. The first chapter describes how the Mental Deficiency Act of 1913 led to a major increase in the numbers of children institutionalised on account of their mental state. Chapter two describes childhood psychosis treatment and research at the Maudsley. The 1959 Mental Health Act saw the de-institutionalisation of over 141,000 adults and children in deficiency institutions, most of whom had been certified as ‘defective’ in childhood. This prompted a rapid increase in epidemiological and statistical studies at the Maudsley. These studies were attempts to quantify the social problems which resulted from this major demographic shift. Victor Lotter’s 1964 study of autism established a solid foundation to the category of autism underpinned with epidemiological and sociological data. Chapter three examines the significance of this transition. The final chapter explores the growth in diagnoses of autism, ‘autistic features’ and related conditions in children from the mid-1960s onwards.

Abstract:
Eugenics movements developed early this century in more than 20 countries, including Australia. However, for many years the vast literature on eugenics focused almost exclusively on the history of eugenics in Britain and America. While some aspects of eugenics in Australia are now being documented, the history of this movement largely remained to be written. Australians experienced both fears and hopes at the time of Federation in 1901. Some feared that the white population was declining and degenerating but they also hoped to create a new utopian society which would outstrip the achievements, and avoid the poverty and industrial unrest, of Britain and America. Some responded to these mixed emotions by combining notions of efficiency and progress with eugenic ideas about maximising the growth of a white population and filling the "empty spaces". It was hoped that by taking these actions Australia would avoid "racial suicide" or Asian invasion and would improve national fitness, thus avoiding "racial decay" and starting to create a "paradise of physical perfection". This thesis considers the impact of eugenics in Australia by examining three related propositions: 1. that from the 1910s to the 1930s, eugenic ideas in Australia were readily accepted because of concerns about declining birth rate; 2. that, while mainly derivative, Australian eugenics had several distinctive Australian qualities; 3. that eugenics has a legacy in many disciplines, particularly family planning and public health. This examination of Australian eugenics is primarily from the perspective of the people, publications and organisations which contributed to this movement in the first half of this century. In addition to a consideration of their achievements, reference is also made to the influence which eugenic ideas had in such diverse fields as education, immigration, law, literature, politics, psychology and science.

SUMMARY Speciality of Kinesiology CORRELATIONS OF STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL PARAMETERS FOR HEALTHY AND MENTAL DEFECTIVE CHILDREN Author: Lorita Kulakauskienė. Supervisor: Prof., Habil. Dr. Alfonsas Vainoras. The work has been carried out at: Kaunas University of Medicine, Faculty of Public Health, Department of Kinesiology and Sport medicine, 2003-2005. The aim of the study: to determine correlations of structural and functional parameters for healthy and mental defective children. Objectives: 1. To compare groups of healthy and mental defective children together by means of measured structural and functional parameters. 2. To size up essential correlations of structural and functional parameters. 3. To examine possible reasons of different correlations between two groups of investigative children. 4. To look into organism, as a complex system, features in both groups of investigative children. The object of the study: two groups of children. One of them – 22 mental defective children (mean age – 14,9 years), and the other – 22 healthy children (mean age – 15,04 years). Methods of the study: anthropometry, measuring arterial blood pressure, cirthometry, skoliometry, electrocardiography and mathematical statistics methods. Results: Means of arterial blood pressure and electrocardiographical parameter aQRS were statistically significantly (p<0,05) more in healthy children group (S), but means of cirthometry parameter C_K and skoliometry parameter Sk_3 - in mental defective...

Abstract:
Some German and Austrian neuroscientists, instead of condemning the patient murder, actually saw a great opportunity in the euthanasia programs. The opportunity was for scientific research on a scale that would never have been possible without the murder programs. The brain parts of these murdered “beautiful defectives” would be used during and long after the war in scientific publications, largely containing mere pathologic descriptions or regarding hereditary causes of neurologic disease. Brain transfer networks existed based on individual scientific interests of neuropathologists at various German institutes; thus, a symbiotic relationship can be seen in the neuroscientists’ desire for scientific material and research funding, which fueled and further intensified the killers’ desire to eliminate patients. The lack of humanity and ethics by Hallervorden, Ostertag, and others regarding this indirect collaboration in killing is striking, as is their lack of repentence or informing future generations about the unethical provenance of the “material.”

Abstract:
This chapter focuses on the impact of processes of institutionalisation on the lives of people with learning/ intellectual disabilities in twentieth century New Zealand. At the beginning of the twentieth century the country had a burgeoning asylum system, an 1899 immigration act prohibiting ‘idiot persons’, a growing eugenics movement and social policy which sought the confinement of those regarded as difficult or deficient in some way. New Zealand’s Mental Defectives Act of 1911 preceded the British Mental Deficiency Act by two years. An anti-institutionalisation movement began early in post-war New Zealand and by the end of the century there had been a paradigm shift in ideas about how and where people labelled intellectually disabled should live. While problems and challenges remain, and the reform movement goes on, the success of the deinstitutionalization movement should not be underestimated.

Abstract:
Teacher burnout as the result of poor career choice and decision making plagues new teachers in the field of education, as well as special education. This chapter introduces theories of moral development and self-efficacy that explain the thought processes of teachers whose expectations in the field do not match the reality of teacher practice. Therefore, their decision making to enter the field contributes to early teacher burnout. Three case studies are described as examples to understand how the psychology of choice determines the factors that result in burnout. The chapter describes how the teachers' decisions relate to the psychology of moral development theory and self-efficacy theory for their career choice. Their behavior and attitude as a teacher relates to their catastrophic choices. The chapter presents suggestions that teachers can implement to make better decisions for their career choice.

Abstract:
Nathan Cohen, a Russian-Brazilian Jew, was declared insane and deported from the United States in 1914. After being twice refused landing in Brazil and Argentina, Cohen remained trapped on a ship in New York’s harbor with no country willing to accept him. Cohen’s well-publicized story reflected Americans’ fear of immigrants and immigrants’ difficulty navigating increasingly restrictive immigration policies. This episode also reveals how psychiatric evaluations were used at the beginning of the twentieth century to identify, detain, and deport supposedly “unfit” and “mentally defective” immigrants. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the mental hospital was by far the carceral institution most likely to hold both immigrants and citizens, and the rate of mental hospital incarceration then is equivalent to the rate in the more recent era of mass incarceration in jails and prisons.
