Mental Retardation—A Handbook for the Primary Physician. A Report of the American Medical Association Conference on Mental Retardation, Chicago, April 9-11, 1964

GERALD D. LAVECK M.D.

In recognition of the upsurge of interest in mental retardation, the Council on Mental Health and the Committee on Maternal and Child Care of the American Medical Association recently convened a group of 175 experts in mental retardation. Grouped in fourteen task forces, these authorities met in Chicago in April, 1964, to draw up guidelines to aid the practicing physican in meeting the needs of the mentally retarded individual and his family. This handbook is the result of the work of these task forces.
