Abstract | This paper presents a critical analysis of Wolfensberger's formulation of normalization as both a valid human service ideology and also a "research-anchored" scientific theory. It finds that the core statement of the model is tautologous, and thus cannot be considered a scientific statement. The empirical status of two major auxiliary hypotheses of normalization is also critiqued. (Author/DB) |
