Philosophy & theory of education
Pocket encyclopaedia of mental disabilities
Key concepts from the fields of remedial and special education, social work, medicine, psychology, sociology and social policy
by Georg Theunissen / Wolfgang Kulig / Kerstin Schirbort
Description
Work with mentally disabled people has advanced in recent years to a much greater extent than in any other field of remedial and special education. By recognising the learning and developmental ability of people with mental disabilities, the theories and concepts for supporting people with mental disabilities take into account the person‘s competence and strengths alongside the perspective of the affected person, together with a commitment to reinforce their rights in law. The pocket encyclopaedia represents a sound scientific guide in view of rapid developments in this field.
