Normalization and social sole valorization (SRV) have often been connected to the process of deinstitutionalisation. The values of freedom and dignity are complementary to the closure of large institutions. Proponents of normalization have been concerned to construct a positive set of programmes for post-institutional life. Some of the contradictions and conceptual problems of normalization are outlined. A fundamental examination of values is urged.
