Extract

I am no expert in the field of mental handicap and what I have to say derives from a general rather than a special acquaintance with the subject you are to discuss. That may be no bad thing, because much of the extensive change which has come over the psychiatric field in the past twenty years has been due to a change of outlook by those outside psychiatry, giving better opportunities for those within.
