Peer reviewedRowitz, Louis – Mental Retardation, 1981
The recent literature on labeling in mental retardation is reviewed and a conceptual scheme based on T. Scheff's model is presented for future study of the labeling problem. The issue of the medicalization or demedicalization of mental retardation is discussed in light of P.L. 94-142, the Education for All Handicapped Children Act. (Author)
