Despite handicaps of low mental ability, deprived backgrounds or
psychiatric and physical disability, most married couples with
disabilities manage to give and receive much personal satisfaction
and pleasure in their marriages. This is of special interest to
professionals and social workers, who in the course of their jobs
are called upon to give support and service to people with mental
disabilities. Originally published in 1979 Ann and Michael Craft
had spent four years researching a sample of 45 marriages with at
least one spouse with a mental disability. In three-quarters of the
partnerships both spouses have a mental disability. This was the
largest group of married subjects with a mental disability studied
in this country at the time, and the Crafts' conclusions were of
considerable importance, for, with the recent trend towards
normalization, marriage was becoming a viable possibility for more
and more people with mental disabilities. The purposes of the
study, therefore, were to give an account of the authors' research
concerning married couples with mental disabilities, to suggest
some ways in which service to such couples might be improved, and
to provide material for teaching purposes. This book is a re-issue
originally published in 1979. The language used is a reflection of
its era and no offence is meant by the Publishers to any reader by
this re-publication.
