ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The author wishes to express her appreciation to those people who helped make this problem possible. To Dr. William.Marshall who before his departure from the University, guided the beginning stages of this problem. To Mr. Robert Lance who with patience and encouragement then.willingly assumed duties as my major professor, and guided the problem to completion. To Dr. Donald Burke and Dr. Eugene Peisner for their interest, assistance, and time as members of my committee. INTROIUCTION Of the vast quantity of literature on mental retardation available, very little of it focuses directly on the family. The emphasis of this bibliography is on family interaction and the parents' role in dealing with the problem of having a mentally retarded child. Books and monographs are annotated in this bibliography. The scope of the bibliography is limited by including complete works dealing directly with family life and interper sonal relationships with the kinds of problems involved with having a mentally retarded child. The bibliography was prepared with the needs of parents of mentally retarded children in mind. The purpose of the bibliography is to identify books and monographs to which parents might refer for suggestions or insights into questions regarding family life. The bibliography provides a report on current literature which can be found scattered throughout the library. Hopefully, it will encourage parents to make a greater use of the materials by making the searching process more efficient. Until this last decade very little reliable information was available concerning the effects of family members ' interaction upon the retarded child or the effects of that child upon his family. In recent years, however, a bank of this much needed literature has begun to grow. This more recent literature can be of an assistance to parents when coupled with a program of counsel- ing or obtaining professional advice. Continual re-education is needed as parents find themselves faced with many problems throughout the life of their retarded child. Infometion met .2- be transmitted skillfully and sensitively to parents. This kind of literature can be found in books of all kinds ranging from child development guides to medical handbooks. Parents are occasionally discouraged by having vast amounts of literature to research for themselves before coming upon any mention of the family. Even then, they sometimes find only a paragraph or page devoted to this subject in an entire book. Parents need to know where they can find the kinds of information they need, and what they might expect to find there . It is hoped that this bibliography will serve as such a guide to parents. The following annotated bibliography can assist parents in their search and in a more effective integration of family research with their already existing body of knowledge concerning mental retardation. Hopefully, too, it can be of imediate practical value by contributing directly to the quality of their family life and in the relationships with their retarded child. Professionals may also find this bibliography valuable in working with parents of retarded children. My of the references listed also offer the reader a suggested bibliography. The books and monographs have been arranged alphabetically according to author. The bibliography includes only references written in English or those that lave been translated into English. Except for three references, all of the materials have been written since 1955. All of the books and monographs on this list can be found in either the Michigan State Library or the State of Michigan Library; many of them can be found in local public libraries. A local Michigan library may borrow any of these books on loan from the State of Michigan library. -3- This bibliography attempts to give some direction to parents seeking help in gaining understanding of the inter- relationship of mental retardation and family life . In some works , professional terminology may present a problem to parents , however, recently there has been a shift in emphasis to writing more material for them. The bibliography will assist these parents of retarded children with a resource in securing reliable informa- tion they need. R‘- w 1”)" BIBLIOGRAPHY Books Abraham, Willard. Barbara: 5 Prologue.

The Mentally Subnormal: The Social gasewggk‘gpproagh. London: William Heinemann Medical Books, Ltd., 1960. In professional termonology this book discusses the social workers contact with families of the severly mentally retarded. The social agencies available to families were difcussed and various case studies used as examples giving insights into family difficulties and how they were approached and counseled by an outsider. Social problems arising with the mentally handicapped, results of studies, and difficulties in getting and holding occupations were all topics discussed Anderson, Camilla A. gag, My Brain-Damaged Daughter. Portland, Oregon: The Durham Press, 1963. The author hopes that by reading about her daughter, readers will discover all brain-injured children. The author went through the details of her pregnancy and birth experiences, and continues to discuss the child’s lvcnfival illness which caused her brain damage. She ” discusses the endless search for medical advice and the emotions she and her husband experienced trying to find a "cure" and for help. The many kinds of people saught out for advice are discussed, along with the final decisions and search for an insitution for Jan. The author speaks out on the responsibility of people in medicine toward parents of these children, and she suggests that psychologists take another look at testing and that modifications need to be made in the orientation of most psychiatrists. Ayrualt, Evelyn W. You CAN'Raise Your Handicapped Child.. New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1964. By using many case studies, the author hopes parents will identify themselves with some of the problems that they may encounter with their own children. Thus, they can achieve K’J ‘ -4- some objectivity. This is a guide to parents of all handicapped children, with specific chapters set aside for discussion of specific handicap§.. Social training, such areas as cause, parental reactions, and problems that arise when a child is both mentally and physically handicapped are all discussed. The author offers a check- list to parents in raising their child, and offers suggestions on emotions, behavior, attitudes of parents, and a quick look into what the future might bring for such a child and his family. Bauer, E. Charles. Retarded Children are People. Milwaukee: The Bruce Publishing Company, 1964. Father Bauer has emphasized the finer aspects of raising and loving a retarded child. His Christian view- point is that such a child has a mission in life to perform, which sooner or later will be recognized by those who come into contact with him. He discusses the unselfish dedication of people who care for mentally retarded children, and feels that God has bestowed this blessing in disguise upon the parents of retarded children. Along with spiritual aspects, the book describes programs and treatment whether in an institution, community or family, and presents helpful data for a better understanding of the vast reaches of the field of mental retardation and those afflicted with it. Birch, Herbert G. Brain Damage in Children: the Biological and Social Aspects, New York: The Williams and Wilkins Co., 1964. The book presents a professional discussion of a number of papers given at a conference sponsored by the Association for the Aid of Crippled Children, in November, 1962. It also provides an annotated bibliography of 370 articles on brain-damaged children to which parents or counselors might refer. The books deals with many of the problems arising from such a handicap, and discusses the brain damaged child's impact upon his family and community. The average parent may have difficulty comprehending much of this material, although the discussion of social problems and such situations would be meaningful. Blodgett, Harriet E., & Warfield, G.J. Understanding Mentally Retarded Children. New York: Appleton-Century-Crofts Inc., 1959. Comprehensive and realistic examination of the multiple problems related to mental retardation. Parents will find extensive information about the capacities and limitations of retarded children in this book as well as practical suggestions for family life and daily living with a look toward the future in planning for the welfare of a retarded child. v I l - - n ' .... - . n . l u' ‘4) ' - ' I P “' . ‘ ‘ 9 . . “ " ' » .‘n , , .

New York: The John Day Company, 1965. "It is not too much to say that what one family does with and for its retarded child in time may change the world." (pg.149) This shows the theme of the book, and its emphasis that there is much we might learn from retarded children. The authors feel that the retardate brings us the intangible quality of love. Complete coverage of problems presented by handicapped children; from emotional problems of both the parent and child to educational difficulties are found in this book. The stress is on mental retardation, but mention is made of other handicaps also. Many caseustudies are reviewed, and medical information given with coverage of the kinds of agencies in the community to which parent 3 may go for aid. Cape, Cornell, & Pines; Maya.

It is aimed at encouraging parent groups to meet and try to lighten each others' discouragement and more thoroughly understand the needs off their children. Although no publishing date appears, and some of the suggestions seem a bit outdated, the book was written as a suggested study-guide for parent groups and offers common areas of difficulty which should be discussed and evaluated. Davies, Stanley P., & Ecob, Katherine G. The Mentally Retarded ‘33 Society. New York: Columbia Univ. Press, 1959.

Heiser, Karl F. Our Backward Children. New York: w.w. Norton & Company, Inc., 1955. This book was written primarily for the parents of retarded children, and even the scientific aspects of retardation are discussed with the layeaudience in mind. The book grew out of the author's experiences as a clinical psychologist in the field of mental retardation, and his observation that so many people who have first hand concern with the handicapped, have little concrete knowledge of the problems with which they are trying to deal. The author's dual purpose is to help society toward a better understanding of retarded children, and to help the parents toward acceptance of the problem. The author discusses the causes and forms of mental retardation, and answers everyday questions that parents ask. He also offers suggestions as to who to turn to for help, and problems in the home versus those in an institution are dealthwith realistically. Hood, O.E. Your Childlgg Mine.

Kirk, Samuel A., Karnes, Merle B., & Kirk, Winifred D. You and Your Retarded Child; a manual for parents of retarded children. NeW'York: MacMillan Co., 1955. The manual is for parents and others who are interested in the retarded child, or who act in advisory capacities. It is a practical presentation of the problems of a retardate and how he affects his family, and the effect upon a retarded child of the attitudes of those he comes into contact with. Suggested solutions are given, and presentation is simple enough for many children to understand. The authors discuss such things as levels of retardation, ways to help a child develop mentally, socialization and interrelationships in the home. The manual has direct and practical, yet impersonal presentation. The authors argue for home care versus institutional living, and give many helpful suggestions for estimating developmental stages and techniques of child training. Lee, Carvel.

Incorporated into the book are results of evaluation and study of hundreds of children.thB book was written for practicing . physicans, so professional termonology might make reading difficult, however chapters dealing with social service and counseling should be of special interest to parents. Lewis, Richard 8., Strauss, Alfred A., & Lehtinen, Laura E. The Other Child; the Brain-Injured Child. New York: Grune & Stratton, 1960. The book was written out of an awareness of the need for one, by the parents of these children. It reflects the emotional state in which a parent finds himself when he suffers from his own confusion and doubt in understanding and rearing his deficient child. The authors strive to notify parents that they are not alone,:mather than any attempt to perseribe answers to probbems. Educational problems, managing the-child at home, behawioral problems and language and perception are all areas that are covered and would be of special interest to parents. Loewy, Hertam Training the Backward Child; g guide for parents and teachers. Longon: Philosophical Library Pub., 1956.

Pittsburg, Pa.: Stanwix House Inc., 1962. Around the problems and questions which are shared by most parents of handicapped children, the author has pulled together *he comments they made and discussed many of them here in this book. The books attempts to deal directly with the emotions and feelings parents experience and how they might be directed and channeled for positive results. Some of the topics covered are insecurity, anxiety, social pressures, embaressment, guilt, worry,.faith, and even the marital strains involving the two parents of a retarded child. Mentally Handicapped Children; A Handbook for Parents. London: National Association for Mental Health, 1958. Before parents caneccept a retarded child, the authors of this book feel they must first combat their fears, guilt feelings, and superstitions. Parents need to look objectively and seek good medical advice for their retardate. One can gain deeper understanding of a child through professional advice, and these children need to be regarded as individuals. The book discusses also, health and learning habits, general training of the child, and the striving for independence of retardates, through assistance of their families. Peck, John R. Clearing in the Wilderness. Univ. of Texas Printing Divising, 1963. Very small easy-to-read book attempting through the use of many pictures to present a picture of where mental retardation research stands today, and give reasonable predictions for the future. The book defines retardation, and discusses the scope of the problem. Case studies are used, trends in education and training are discussed as well as institutional life. The author discusses emotions of parents and typical kinds of problems arising with such a child. Emphasis is on the state of Texas and developmentsa there. Rothstein, Jerome H. (ed.) Mental Retardation; Readings and Resources. New York: Holt, Rinehart & Winston, 1962. In technical termonology, this book is entirely devamed to medical, educational, and the other kinds of problems associated with mental retardation.

The Exceptional Child la the Family, New York: Grune and Stratton, 1964. This book was not written specifically with parents of exceptional children in mind, however, the author hopes it will be a supplement to their professional contacts, and will therefore be useful to parents.

Learning to deal with situations, understanding, acceptance, and the dynamics of family interaction are carefully discussed in this book. Parental attitudes and behavior as well as extensive coverage of counseling parents of exceptional children are also to be found here. Seagoe, M.V. Yesterdgy was Tuesday, All Day All Night. Boston: Little Brown & Co., 1964.

The father took the child with him around as much of the world as possible in order that he might experience as mcry'new things as possible. The boy poured out his frustrations and observations in a diary which is written into this book, thus exemplifying the author feels, the capacities of a mongoloid. Slaughter, Stella. The Mentally Retarded Child and his Pagggtg. New York: Harper and Brothers Publishers, 1960.

Bernard. "Effects of a Sevendy'Mentally Retarded Child on Family Integration". Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development. Lafayette, Ind.; 1959. Tol. 24) This monograph.describes various conditions influencing the effects of a severely mentally retarded child upon family integration. The process by which the child affects his family is considered, as well as the concept of family variables such as age and sex of the retarded child, the social status of parents, and community participation of the parents. Families were studied and interviewed; sibling relationships considered, and discussion of the institutionalization of the retarded child, as well as home care versus institutionalization of the retarded was considered in this monograph. Farber, Bernard. "Family Organization and Crisis: Maintenance of Integration in Families with a Severly Mentally Retarded Child". Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development Lafayette, Ind.; 1960. (vol. 257 This std y is written in professional termonology using data collected from individual interviews of 255 families of severely mentally'retarded children. The results of the study show how families deal with the crisis they find themselves faced with, and results show that broad generalizations regarding effects upon all families cannot be made. The author discusses different dimensions of family life in regard to placing a child in an institution, and eventually evolves some guides to counselors of families of the severely mentally retarded. Farber, Bernard, & Jenné,'w. C. "Family Organization and parent— child Communication". Monggraphs of the Society for Research in Child Development Lafayette, Ind. : 1965. (vol. 28) Parental expectations regarding the behavior of their retarded child were studied using a sample of 109 Chicago area families with a mentally retarded chibd as well as a normal child in the family. Results of the study are given showing differences found between children within the same household, and the influences playing upon the family. The aim of the investigation was to explore the relationship between various factors in family life. The accuracy of parental communication of dissatisfaction with a.child's behavior to him, and the child's tendency to overestimate or underestimate that satisfaction were also factors considered.

It attempts to delinate the factors which determine the decisions of parents to place their severely retarded child in an institution. Clarification of many controversial variables that should be considered when counseling parents are discussed here. Jacob, wait. "New Hope for the Retarded". Public Affairs Pamphlets.

The diagnosis proceedures, education and training are found here along with discussion on home care and instruction, and vocational rehabilitation.

Children’s Bureau Bulletin. Washington D.c., 1963. ( No. 401) This study was made of 50 families with Mongoloid children living at home. Various factors considered were effects of the neighborhood and community, influences in the home, and an outlook for the future. Of the 50 families studied, 25 of them were informed at their child‘s birth that the child was normal; in 8 cases, nothing was said; and in 19 cases parents didn't find out their child was a MOngoloid until he was over a year old. In 44 out of the 50 cases, the immediate advice to the parents was to institutionalize their child. Seengor, G. ”Factors Influencing the Institutionalization of Mentally Retarded Individuals in New York City". New York State Interdepartmental Health Resources fioard, Albany, 1960. 580 cases of mentally retarded individuals were studied divided into groups of 244 living in an institution, 158 Vliving in the community, and the rest called maximum service meaning they were receiving professional assistance and help. Parent interviews and case studied were used finding that 1 out of 9 retarded children is committed to an institution each year. Membership in the institution group is directly related to their cultural group. This group also shows that 44%.of the most severely retarded institutionalized came from broken homes. The results of those institutionalized were also related to sex offences. The rate is highest when parents were inadequately prepared for retardation and its problems, as well as having their child a behavioral problem. Only about 1 out of 5 parents had diagnostic work-ups before the institutionalization of their child, and in most cases, the decision to commit a child, and actual institutionalization took place very quickly. Conclusions were that the decision to institutionalize a child depends often on characteristics of that child, and invluences placed upon'the parents u" . c . .' I‘ t 0 - - ' .- 41.!1 J .'... - .

Those of his siblings and parents are also discussed. The author attempted to do this by answering many of the questions asked by parents during counseling, and by dealing with the common worries and doubts of those“parents. He discusses the nature of retardation, pros and cons of institutions, and the prospects for the future of the retardate. Effects upon the family, neighbors and relatives are covered as well as where parents might turn for assistance. . it“! ., :9 . ' 7": " u 7' LI ‘ I .I ' I ‘4 . A" ’ :11... "J"- .I.
