I recently found some Life magazines from the 50s and 60s saved by my great grandmother and stashed in our garage after her passing. I swiped them of course and have been re-purposing them into collages. The images in these things can be extremely disturbing. The girl in this collage was from an article about mentally handicapped kids that were being given negative reinforcement in the form of yelling, slapping, etc. whenever they were "bad" and given positive reinforcement when they had "acceptable" behavior. This particular girl was on a floor that administered an electrical jolt whenever she misbehaved. Crazy stuff.
