Nowadays in our society people with mental disorders are considered to be weak and non self-sufficient, being not able to solve life difficulties. They are often compared with children who never grow up. The major purpose of children with intellectual disabilities training is to prepare them to live as more independently as possible; therefore, there should be much practice of real-life situations and learning to repeat an activity under its sequence while training pupils. The purposefulness of education has a great impact on these children’s preparation for an autonomous life. The training of children with mental disorders to live on their own is a complicated and diverse process which needs new educational techniques and methods to get it realized. It became particularly relevant to talk about problems and possibilities of self-sufficiency training and implementation of children with intellectual disabilities during the process of integration and starting paying attention on the improvement of life conditions and quality. The subject-matter is the collaboration of parents and specialists while preparing children with mental disorders to live independently. The research goal is to reveal the problems of the partnership of parents and specialists while preparing intellectually disorded pupils to live on their own. The tasks of the... [to full text]

My hypothesis is that social contract theory does not satisfactorily explain why we owe a serious concern or respect to profoundly mentally disabled individuals (PMD). This is a problem for social contract theories if we assume, like I do in this dissertation, that the PMD possess a robust moral status (RMS). My dissertation will explore the main strategies deployed by contractarian and contractualist theorists to bring the PMD within the purview of the social contract, in order to clarify why some aspects of their claims are promising but why they nonetheless fail to fully explain the robust moral status of the PMD. I notably find that they leave morally important dimensions of human relations out of the contractual frame, which means that they exclude the PMD from the scope of justice and morality when they claim that this contractual frame offers the only valid explanation to be a subject of justice and a moral patient. I do not conclude that this requires us to reject social contract theory altogether, nor do I count it as a reason to question whether the PMD have a robust moral status. In my concluding chapter, I will rather suggest a theoretical frame that has the potential of incorporating both contractual and non-contractual relations within the spheres of morality and justice, because both kinds of relation vehicle important intuitions about what is of value in human life. This dissertation will contribute to orientate future research on the moral and political grounds for the rights of profoundly mentally disabled people, as well as question or curtail the breadth of certain key assumptions of social contract theories.

Thesis advisor: R. Shep Melnick / This paper's main focus is on the American Disability Insurance law. It begins with an outline of the debate that led up to the passing of the original legislation. The paper then examines the law more closely and depicts the changes the law has undergone in the last 50+ years. Next, the current disability benefits process is depicted and questions are posed about inherent difficulties in the disability insurance program. The paper then examines the challenges mental disability causes for the disability insurance program, using a case study of bipolar disorder. Disability insurance programs abroad are next explored with a focus on how other countries have dealt with the problems the United States is facing in its own program. The paper concludes with an examination of the future prospects of the American Disability Insurance program; suggestions are made regarding useful changes to the law. / Thesis (BA) — Boston College, 2007. / Submitted to: Boston College.

This dissertation examines lived experiences of mental disability and neurodivergency in contemporary women’s writing. It demonstrates that social forces and identifications across race, class, gender, sexuality, and disability mediate experiences with mental disability in the contemporary era. I draw from disability studies, feminist cultural studies, feminist philosophy, critical race studies, and affect studies in order to explore interdisciplinary questions about mental illness, neurodivergency, and mental disability in contemporary literature and culture. I bring an intersectional feminist disability studies methodology to the archetype of the “madwoman,” theorized by Sandra Gilbert and Susan Gubar in their groundbreaking 1979 work, The Madwoman in the Attic. Moving away from “madness” and toward “mental disability” in order to focus on how social logics and medical industrial systems produce mental disability, I argue for literary study as a way to better understand disability as a lived experience. I read Claudia Rankine’s poetry, Joyce Carol Oates’s and Dorothy Allison’s novels, and Amy Bloom’s and Esmé Weijun Wang’s short stories in order to investigate race, class, and sexuality across a range of feminine and nonbinary experiences with mental disability and neurodiversity in the contemporary era. I choose women as a primary category of analysis because they, in particular, have been hystericized, pathologized, and even incarcerated due to disabilities. These violences and inequities disproportionally affect women of color. I reveal how social logics, such as racism, and systems, such as the medical industrial complex, cause harm to those with mental illnesses and neurodivergencies. In some ways, mental disability may be an identity; in other ways, it may be a trauma; in other ways, it may be a stigmatizing force.

Le handicap est aujourd’hui de plus en plus présent dans le monde de l’art. Ce phénomène est le plus souvent analysé dans la perspective de l’Art thérapie, dans laquelle le théâtre est envisagé comme un outil thérapeutique au service du patient.Cette thèse s’ancre dans une perspective très différente : elle étudie la question de la visibilité du handicap mental via une approche esthétique et politique, inspirée du courant anglo-saxon des disabilty studies, dans lequel le handicap est notamment analysé comme un phénomène social et culturel. La première partie est consacrée à un historique de la mise en visibilité de l’anormalité en général, ˆ travers les phénomènes de foire et les cas pathologiques entre le XVIe et le XXe siècle, en Europe et aux États-Unis. Elle souligne que la visibilité de ce qui est aujourd’hui appelé handicap a toujours joué sur l’ambiguïté entre la présentation et la représentation. La deuxième partie se concentre sur le théâtre contemporain et analyse les conditions de mise en audibilité du handicap mental dans trois spectacles des années 2010 : Le Bizarre Incident du chien pendant la nuit mis en scène par P. Adrien, L’Empereur c’est moi mis en scène par V. Poirier et Rendez-vous gare de l’Est mis en scène par G. Vincent. Interprétées par des comédien.ne.s considéré.e.s comme valides, ces trois propositions artistiques prennent le handicap pour thème et le présentent sous la forme d’un partage d’expérience. Il y apparaît comme un écart à une norme sociale, qu’il contribue alors à mettre en question. La troisième partie est consacrée à des spectacles exclusivement interprétés par des comédien.ne.s en situation de handicap mental, dans lesquels celui-ci devient une ressource esthétique, tant au niveau de la dramaturgie, que du jeu d’acteur ou de la mise en scène. Des créations de la Compagnie de l’Oiseau-Mouche, de l’Atelier Catalyse et du Theater HORA, ainsi que les discours portés sur elles, sont ainsi analysées et comparées. / Disability is nowadays increasingly present in the art world. This phenomenon is usually analyzed in the context of art therapy, in which theater is used as a way to improve the patient’s health. This dissertation adopts a very different perspective: inspired by disability studies, in which disability is considered a social and cultural phenomenon, it focuses on the visibility of mental disability through an aesthetic and political lens. The first part is an historical contextualization of abnormality in general. It studies how the freaks and the pathological cases gained visibility between the 16th and the 20th century, in Europe and in the United States. It stresses that what is nowadays called Ôdisability’ was always represented rather than merely exhibited. The second part focuses on contemporary theater and examines how mental disability can be heard, through the analysis of three performances created in the 2010’s : The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time directed by par P. Adrien, I am the Emperor directed by V. Poirier et Meet me at East Train Station directed by par G. Vincent. Played by able actors and actresses, these performances take disability as a theme and show it as a sharing of experience. Disability is portrayed as a deviation from social norms, which it enables to question. The third part is devoted to performances entirely played by actors and actresses with mental disabilities, in which disability becomes an aesthetic resource regarding dramaturgy, playing and staging. Creations by La Compagnie de l’Oiseau-Mouche, Atelier Catalyse and the Theater HORA, as well as the discourse about these companies, are analyzed and compared to each other.

<p>Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur sex- och samlevnadsundervisningen bedrivs på gymnasiesärskolan, hur lärare arbetar med elevernas kvinno- och mansroller, samt att ställa undervisningen i relation till de av Skolverket uppsatta nationella målen för sex- och samlevnadsundervisning. Metoden för undersökningen är kvalitativa intervjuer av lärare. Resultatet av undersökningen visar att sex- och samlevnadsundervisningen ser olika ut beroende på elevgruppens sammansättning. Lärarna ser sex- och samlevnadsundervisningen som viktig och värdefull. Undersökningen visar att de utvidgar ämnet till att behandla stärkandet av elevernas självkänsla och självbestämmande samt att ge eleverna grunderna för att känna trygghet i sina kvinno- och mansroller. Lärarna lägger stor vikt vid diskussioner kring accepterade sexuella beteenden och uttryck samt vad som inte kan antas vara accepterat, hos eleverna själva och personer i olika ställningar eleverna möter i livet. Undersökningen visar att lärarna är engagerade och vinnlägger sig om att få en varierad undervisning med inslag där eleverna efter egen förmåga kan finna kunskap att ta till sig. Resultatet pekar på att de nationella målen för sex- och samlevnadskunskap är för allmänt hållna och svåra att bedriva ett kvalitetsarbete kring. Målen för vad en elev bör kunna efter avslutad skolgång är inte anpassade efter gymnasiesärskoleelevernas varierade utvecklings- och mognadsnivåer.</p>
