The Paradox of Regulations: A Commentary.

Taylor, Steven J.

Mental Retardation, v30 n3 p185-90 Jun 1992

This response to previous symposium papers (EC 604 155-161) concerning regulations and quality assurance in Intermediate Care Facilities for the Mentally Retarded (ICF/MR) sees regulations as the bureaucratization of values, identifies paradoxes implicit in regulatory controls, and urges reform of the current developmental disability service system.
