Seller's Description:
256 pages. The story of a girl (McDonald) with cerebral palsy who was institutionalized at a young age and the efforts of her therapist (Crossley) to bring her back into society. *** Crossley used 'facilitated communication' with McDonald, helping her point out letters and signal her intent. A great deal of controversy surrounds the pair, with many skeptics asserting that Crossley was answering for McDonald. *** In any case, McDonald earned a college degree and is celebrated as a disability activist in Australia, where a clinic for people who are unable to speak is named for her. This memoir was adapted into a film (released in the US as A Test of Love). Third printing of the revised edition. Very good in wrappers. Inscribed by both authors, 'For the measure of a man. To Stephen Jay Gould in great admiration. Anne McDonald & Rosemary Crossley. ' Presumably McDonald signed with the assistance of Crossley. The inscription refers to Gould's book, The Mismeasure of Man. Very uncommon signed by both authors, and a nice association.
