by Sara Newman

What accounts for the differing ways that individuals and cultures have tried to make sense of mental and physical disabilities? Can we see a pattern of change over time? Sara Newman examines personal narratives across a broad sweep of history from ancient Greece to the present day to reveal the interplay of dynamics that have shaped both personal and societal conceptions of mental and physical difference.
