- There are, as we shall see, points of similarity between Edgerton's The Cloak of Competence and Goffman's Asylums: essays on the social situation of mental patients and other inmates (New York, 1961) and the same author's Stigma: notes on the management of spoiled identity (Englewood Cliffs, 1963).

- This is a theme which is central to The Cloak of Competence and illustrated by the vivid case-studies in that book.

- Precise figures relating to specialisms directly concerned with mental handicap are extremely difficult to establish but an idea of regional disparities in general in Britain may be derived from Townsend Peter Davidson Nick Inequalities in Health: the Black report 1982 See, in particular, Table 38.
- See, in particular, for the theoretical context, Foucault Michel The Order of Things: the archaeology of the human sciences 1970 Michael Mulkay (1979) Science and the Sociology of Knowledge, is an excellent guide to the field. And, on empirical work on late nineteenth century Britain, see the notes in Ryan & Thomas (1980).
