Abstract
The thesis is proposed that the relative effects of social deprivation may be useful in understanding psychological, etiological factors in “mental retardation.” Social deprivation, a relative construct, is viewed as resulting from the difference between predeprived and deprived levels of adult social stimulation, and as being greatly affected by the rate of change. A case history approach is used to illustrate how the relative social deprivation thesis can contribute to a better understanding of the child's emotional and intellectual development and to the understanding of treatment techniques.
