No Offense Intended, A Directory of Historical Disability Terms - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The Directory is the result of museum research into the history of early almshouses, hospitals, institutions, and schools. Most of the terms were early practitioners' attempts to clarify and identify the nature and causes of diseases and deviations in human behavior. As you read the directory, it is easily seen that, historically, yesterday's diagnosis can, a few generations later, become negative and enter everyday language.
