Social Psychology of Blindness

Journal of Abnormal and Social Psychology : v. 25, no. 1, April - June 1930. "The author, who is blind, points out that success in overcoming blindness is mainly a personal and lifelong struggle of the handicapped individual. His success or failure, however, will be determined largely by the attitude of his family and the public toward him as a blind person. The blind person must never lose his nerve, or the determination to succeed. The public should not pity or pamper him, but treat him as a normal person, recognizing the only limitation to be blindness." -- PsycInfo Database Record, ©2021 APA
