Well known in mental health circles for his writing on mental retardation and community inclusion, Robert Perske is an important advocate for the developmentally disabled today. The Pastoral Voice of Robert Perske examines the earlier works (from 1963 to 1971) of Robert Perske, focusing on his role as a pastor and chaplain at the Kansas Neurological Institute. These articles were some of the first on ministry and mental retardation, yet they can easily be applied to the mental health and pastoral issues of today. Not only is this collection useful to clergy and spiritual administrators as well as mental health professionals, but the words of Robert Perske can be enlightening to the families of those who are developmentally disabled.
