ABSTRACT
In the reviewed work, the author has undertaken an attempt to introduce a reader the opinions of the inhabitants of the Bialski District on the functioning of persons with mental impairment. Statistical surveys indicate that in Poland there are ca. 5.5 millions of disabled persons, including ca. 10% of those with mental impairment. It is a considerable, yet often neglected in scientific research, group of inhabitants of our District. Usually, their issues are investigated by a narrow group of experts of psychology, medicine or pedagogy. The hereby presented book extends the scope and range of interests in those issues with opinions of a representative of social sciences.
