About This Podcast

Discover The Kallikak Family A Study in the Heredity of Feeble-Mindedness, authored by the influential American psychologist and eugenicist Henry H. Goddard. This thought-provoking yet controversial extended case study delves into the Kallikak family—a name derived from the Greek words Kallos (beauty) and Kakos (bad)—to explore the inheritance of feeble-mindedness, encompassing a range of mental disabilities, learning challenges, and mental illnesses. Goddard’s findings suggested that various mental traits are hereditary, advocating for societal measures to restrict reproduction among those with such traits, which contributed to the rise of the harmful eugenics movement in the United States. For visual aids referenced in Chapter II, please consult a visual copy of the book. - Summary by Mary Kay and Wikipedia
