Offers observations on Wolfensberger's social role valorisation concept, which proposes that the most explicit goal of normalisation is the enablement, maintenance and/or defence of valued social roles for people, particularly those at risk of social devaluation, by using (as much as possible) culturally valued means. Provides, as an example, a human service 'vignette' in which the SRV principle has been seriously violated, and a 'vignette' in which care has been taken to address SRV issues. It is suggested that without attention to SRV, success of deinstitutionalisation programmes will be seriously jeopardised.
