Abstract
The attitudes parents have towards their retarded child are formed by many people. Previous contact and knowledge about mental retardation is one. The others are, contacts with the medical profession, reactions from other family members, and how the community supports and helps this group of people. Guilt and anger that parents have also contribute to their attitudes. In many cases the parents will feel a groundless personal guilt. (World Health Organization, 1954).
