Excerpt from The Psychological Clinic, Vol. 7
Retardation and deviation would not attract much interest simply as abnormal conditions. It is their curative treatment - the processes through which the abnormal may be made to develop into the normal - that inspires the present efforts of educator, psychologist, and physician.
The Science which treats of the restoration of the retardate and the deviate to normality has been in want of a name.
The Psychological Clinic proposes for this science the name Orthogenics, and will employ this term to define the journal"s scope and object.
While Orthogenics concerns itself primarily with the causes and treatment of retardation and deviation, it is by definition the science of normal development, and comprehends within its scope all the conditions which facilitate, conserve, or obstruct the normal development of mind and body.
