L'auteur présente l'histoire de la déficience intellectuelle tout d'abord du côté de l'Europe occidentale à partir de l' homo sapiens jusqu'au 20ième siècle et du côté des États-Unis au tournant des années 1960 jusqu`à tout récemment. Il est question de l'influence des mentalités en vigueurs au différentes époques, des valeurs sous-jacentes à l'intervention auprès des personnes ayant un retard mental et des définitions et des classifications qui ont orientées au cours des années le domaine de la recherche et des services en déficience intellectuelle. L'auteur situe également le sort de la personne ayant une déficience intellectuelle en regard aux grands événements qui ont marqué l'humanité. On retrouve dans le document une approche basée sur le développement de l'individu en fonction des ajustements historiques dans la distribution des services socio-sanitaires, scolaires et communautaires.
