- Equal Treatment for People with Mental Retardation
- Martha A. Field
- Valerie A. Sanchez
- Despite the progress of the normalization movement, which has moved so many people with mental retardation into the mainstream since the 1960s, their personal decisions involving such issues as engaging in sex or raising children have been consistently challenged, regulated, and outlawed. In a comprehensive study of the legal doctrines and social policies involved, Martha Field and Valerie Sanchez argue persuasively that persons with mental retardation should have legal authority to make their own decisions.
