Gale's History of Disabilities program provides access to primary sources written using terminology that was in common use by the medical establishment and general society at the time, and describes diagnoses, methodologies, procedures, and treatments that may no longer be used or were debunked by later research. Users may come across words and expressions describing individuals and groups that they find condescending, upsetting, disconcerting, offensive, and not acceptable today. These primary sources depict the beliefs and perspectives of previous eras, sometimes including negative stereotypes of disabled persons, women, minorities, and ethnic groups, or insulting and offensive language that was once commonplace. These materials are provided for academic research and teaching purposes, and Gale does not endorse any specific views contained within the content.
