| Research Abstract |
The process of formation of the discourse of intellectual disability in Japanese psychiatry prior to World War II and the characteristics of this discourse were as follows. Emil Kraepelin's psychiatric system influenced the formation of the discourse of intellectual disability and its classificationfidiot, imbecile, moron) in Japan. Kraepelin's psychiatric system was also important that it transferred intellectual disability from being a concept of mental disease to being a concept of disability.Koh'ichi Miyake proposed to adopt mental testing to supplement the diagnosis and classification of intellectual disability on the basis of psychiatric diagnosis in Kraepelin's psychiatric system.Noaki Sugita constructed a new discourse of intellectual disability from the point of view of the chronological age and life experience of children with intellectual disability. Sugita's new discourse of intellectual disability consisted of two dimensions ; a defect in intelligence and a disability in social life adaptation.Sugita's new discourse of intellectual disability was adopted not only in psychiatry, but in all other related fields prior to World War II and it influenced the discourse of intellectual disability after World WarII
