The Problem of Cerebral Palsy Today

G. F. MUNNS

Dr. Perlstein presents the problem in the care of cerebral palsy patients as it confronts us today. The monograph is concise, well written, and reveals the author's comprehensive knowledge of the subject.

Part one is concerned with a general description of the problem and discusses the causes, types, prognosis, incidence and other pertinent information and observations. Our present facilities for care are outlined, and this picture is a sorry one indeed. Only about 10% of these unfortunate individuals receive adequate care at the present time.

Part two offers a well thought out and sensible plan to provide effective care. The proposed In-Patient Hospital-Schools and Out-Patient Clinic-Schools administered at state levels seem to offer a method of care far superior to any plan existing in most of our states today. There are a few states which have already inaugurated this or a similar plan.
