“Normalization” is a term used by professionals and some consumer activists to describe the goal they envision for disabled people. It connotes having equal rights and opportunities, taking equal risks, assuming equal responsibilities, and expecting equal heartaches and disappointments. It is an unimpeachable goal for those whose lives might otherwise be deprived and disadvantaged, but for many others, striving for normalization is aiming too low. Carl Jung (1929) captured the essence of this in a passage indicating that to be normal is a splendid ideal for the unsuccessful, for all those who have not yet found an adaptation; but for people who have more ability than the average, for whom it was never hard to accomplish their share of the world’s work, for them, restriction to the normal signifies the bed of Procrustes, unbearable boredom, infernal sterility, and hopelessness.
