This study reviews the life of E.O. Seguin. It reveals a complex political, social, medical and educational involvement in the education of mentally retarded individuals. Seguin's contribution to the education of the mentally retarded is called the "physiological method". The system, based upon physhiological constructs, sociological principles and learning theories, was far in advance of its time. Dr. Seguin was born at Clamcy, France, 1812 and died in New York City, 1880. He came from a prominent family who had been physicians for several generations. He graduated from the College of Auxere and St. Louis in Paris. He studied medicine at medical school and under Itard. Eary in his professioal career he became associated with a coterie of brilliant youg men such as Pierre Lenox, Louis Blanc and Victor Hugo. Dr. Seguin began his labors for the retarded child in 1837 with Itard. His work at Salpétrière and Bicetre achieved fame both at home and abroad. In 1846, his great treatise was written, which became a standard text book in this field. Around 1850, he left France as a political refugee for the United States. In America, he worked with Dr. Howe in Bostonand Dr. Wilbur in New York from 1854to 1857. Later he moved to New York City to practice and write on medical subjects. He invented a medical thermometer in 1871. Seguin wrote his second book in 1866 which elucidated in great detail his philosophy of education and his reasons for advocation of the physiogical method. In 1876, Seguin was elected first President of the Association of Medical Officers of American Instituon for Idiotic and Feeble-Minded Persons. He established his school in New York City in 1880, the year when he died.
