Response to Drash, Raver, and Murrin: Can WE Cure Mental Retardation.

Warren, Sue Allen

Mental Retardation, v25 n2 p75-78 Apr 1987

Views on the curability of mental retardation are reviewed. The implication of the view of Drash et al., that current technology makes total habilitation possible for many people, is refuted. Efforts should continue in replication research, follow-up, etc. Setting a goal of total habilitation for an individual should be exercised cautiously. (KM)
