From the perspective of five Norwegian communal experiments, this book addresses how modern society deals with people who are mentally handicapped. The author examines life in the villages, primarily in Vidarasen, where he lived and worked for the last twenty years. Illustrating day to day living, work, cultural activities, and the organizational structure of these villages, the author provides a powerful contribution to the debate on the treatment of the mentally handicapped.
