Pity, disgust, fear, cure, and prevention-all are words that
Americans have used to make sense of what today we call
intellectual disability. Inventing the Feeble Mind explores the
history of this disability from its several identifications over
the past 200 years: idiocy, imbecility, feeblemindedness, mental
defect, mental deficiency, mental retardation, and most recently
intellectual disability. Using institutional records, private
correspondence, personal memories, and rare photographs, James
Trent argues that the economic vulnerability of intellectually
disabled people (and often their families), more than the claims
made for their intellectual and social limitations, has shaped
meaning, services, and policies in United States history.
