A Quarter-Century of Normalization and Social Role Valorization: Evolution and Impact
Edited by Robert J. Flynn, University of Ottawa & Raymond A. Lemay, Prescott-Russell Children’s Aid Society University of Ottawa Press
(1999, 571 pages; ISBN 0-7766-0485-6; $35).
Normalization and Social Role Valorization (SRV) have, in many countries, constituted one of the most significant human service reform movements of the last quarter-century. Besides making possible the widespread emergence of community residential options during the late 1960s and 1970s, Normalization and SRV also provided the philosophical climate within which educational integration, supported employment, and community participation were able to take firm root. A dominant influence in mental retardation and developmental disabilities throughout this period, Normalization and SRV have also affected practice and policy in mental health and aging.
This book is unique in tracing the evolution and impact of Normalization and SRV over the last quarter-century, with many of the chapter authors personally involved in what is a still-evolving theoretical and service perspective. Bengt Nirje and Wolf Wolfensberger, respectively, give detailed first-person accounts of the origins of Normalization in Scandinavia and of its establishment in North America. Other contributions include systematic accounts or critical perspectives on Normalization and SRV; research on role theory, residential services, integration, supported employment, and the Normalization and SRV-based evaluation instruments, PASS and PASSING; analyses of values-based training and community education as key service-reform vehicles; the impact of Normalization and SRV in Scandinavia and the English and French-speaking worlds; a look into the future, by Wolf Wolfensberger; and a comprehensive 800-item bibliography on Normalization, SRV, PASS, and PASSING, covering the period 1969-1999.
