Castles, Elaine E: "We're People First": The Social and Emotional
Lives of Individuals with Mental Retardation. Praeger Publishers 1996
Product Description:
This book describes the course of social and emotional development in children
and adults with mental retardation. Based on empirical research exploring the
effect of cognitive delays and "socialization for incompetence" on
normal developmental milestones, the text is supplemented and enriched by the
reflections of individuals with mental retardation. Castles begins with an
overview of social and emotional development in intellectually normal persons
and a discussion of how this process is affected by the experience of mental
retardation. Subsequent chapters deal with changing relationships between
persons with retardation and their families throughout their lifespans;
friendships and social skills; self-esteem, coping skills, and stigmas; and
major issues of adult life such as work, sexuality, marriage, and parenthood.
This book will be useful to educators, mental health professionals, vocational
counselors, and the families of persons with developmental disabilities.
