ROBERT B. KUGEL M.D.

In the forward Frederic A. Gibbs states "Changed attitudes toward feeblemindedness allow the present text to start from a simple, logical, and completely realistic premise, viz., that mental retardation is due to brain disorder."

The authors carefully and persistently present the mass of information now available to support Gibbs' statement.
