Despite their best intentions, professionals in the helping fields
are influenced by a deficit perspective that is pervasive in
research, theory, training programs, workforce preparation
programs, statistical data, and media portrayals of marginalized
groups. They enter their professions ready to fix others and their
interactions are grounded in an assumption that there will be a
problem to fix. They are rarely taught to approach their work with
a positive view that seeks to identify the existing strengths and
assets contributed by individuals who are in difficult
circumstances. Moreover, these professionals are likely to be
entirely unaware of the deficit-based bias that influences the way
they speak, act, and behave during those interactions.
Reconstructing Perceptions of Systemically Marginalized Groups
demonstrates that all individuals in marginalized groups have the
potential to be successful when they are in a strengths-based
environment that recognizes their value and focuses on what works
to promote positive outcomes, rather than on barriers and deficits.
Covering key topics such as education practices, adversity, and
resilience, this reference work is ideal for industry
professionals, administrators, psychologists, policymakers,
researchers, academicians, scholars, instructors, and students.
