Abstract
The last decade saw a major shift in the management of the mentally handicapped and their place in society. The dual influences of the movements for human rights, emphasising the rights of minority groups matched by an increasing tendency to replace institutionalisation with community based care often under the banner of economy, have had an impact on the liminal positioning of the mentally handicapped in Western society.
