Sinopsis
Excerpt from Intelligence and Social Valuation: A Practical Method for the Diagnosis of Mental Deficiency and Other Forms of Social Inefficiency
It is the moron who constitutes the real difficulty for diagnosis and is at the same time the greatest social 'menace. As Goddard points out, the first point to be emphasized is that such people cannot be recognized from their physical appearance. The most dangerous group of mental defectives are those who are in no way different from the intelligent man, and not only in outward appearance, but in conversation and bearing, often pass for normal. They are thought to be simply untutored and it is supposed that training will bring them up to standard. But that such is not the case is testified to by the presence of hundreds of such cases in institutions for the feeble-minded, and by thousands of others who are not in such institutions, but who are recognized by those who know the feeble minded, as being mentally deficient. It should further be noted that those forms of amentia, such as idiocy and imbecility, which are easily recognizable, even by a layman, constitute but a small percentage of the mentally subnormal. A very large number can only be diagnosed by experts specially trained in modern methods of neurological and psycho logical science.

Excerpt from Intelligence and Social Valuation: A Practical Method for the Diagnosis of Mental Deficiency and Other Forms of Social Inefficiency
It has been pointed out by a writer (1) in the "Fortnightly Review" for January, 1917, that the "root problem of all the after-war problems is the conservation of the wealth of the Nation of to-morrow which resides in its boys and girls of today. The future of the country depends on their future."
Whilst it is impossible to enumerate here the many problems which are intimately associated with the question of child conservation, there is no doubt that one of the most pressing of these problems - whether it be regarded from its medical, sociological, or educational aspects - is that of mental deficiency. As it is clear that post-war reconstruction will depend on the mentality and efficiency of the people, it follows that any community which comprises an appreciable percentage of unrecognized mentally defective persons will be severely handicapped in the work of social reconstruction unless such persons can be recognized and treated.
Feeble-mindedness or moronity has been variously defined.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. Delving into the intricate relationship between intelligence and social behavior, this book presents a groundbreaking method for diagnosing mental deficiencies and various forms of social inadequacy. The authors, drawing upon cutting-edge research in neurology and psychology, argue that brain capacity serves as a valuable indicator of mental development and function. By measuring head size and applying advanced statistical analysis, the authors establish norms for brain capacity at different ages, providing a benchmark against which individuals can be assessed. Furthermore, the book explores the physical, psychological, and educational factors that contribute to social maladjustment, emphasizing the crucial role of early identification and intervention. Ultimately, this work challenges the traditional reliance on IQ testing and offers a more comprehensive approach to understanding and addressing the challenges of mental health and social well-being. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
