UNDERLYING PHILOSOPHY

Clients are provided services to remediate problems

If we do our job well, someday they will be nearly as good as us.

not so

HIDDEN PHILOSOPHY

If a person or community is said to have deficits, we mean that they do not measure up to some standard.

Who sets the standard?

Roger E. Hamlin, IPPSR 4

WHAT WE DO

We Help Clients Identify Their Problems.

We Tell Them They Have Special Needs.

We Convince Them Services Are the Answer.

We Teach Them to Find Services.

Roger E. Hamlin, IPPSR 5

WHAT SOME COMMUNITIES DO.

Comprehensive Needs-Assessments

Service Delivery Maps

One-Stop Shopping Centers

WHAT WE UNCONSCIOUSLY DO.

Remind People of Their Deficiencies

By Requiring They:

• prove they have needs

• satisfy means tests

• (i.e. prove they have financial needs)

EFFECTS ON THE INDIVIDUAL and COMMUNITIES

They Learn That They Have Failed

They Learn They are Dependent on Us.

They Lose Their Self-esteem

WHAT WE TEACH

Well-being results from being a client served by outsiders.

Their role In society is to consume services

Survival depends on consuming services efficiently.

Roger E. Hamlin, IPPSR 9

WHAT THEY LEARN

They become dependent on outsiders.

Productive behavior is finding and

using services provided by others.

SAME EFFECT ON COMMUNITY.

Outsiders Help The Community:

• Define and understand problems,

• And seek outsider-provided services.

DOUBLE JEOPARDY

Individuals living in target neighborhoods are repeatedly told they have multiple complex problems and their surrounding community Is problematic.

Individuals Stereotyped Because of Location.

DOUBLE DEPENDENCE

DOUBLE HOPELESSNESS

WHY WE TAKE NEGATIVE APPROACH.

To Satisfy Our Needs.

• Ego > We are better.

• Control > We need to control others.

• Employment > They need us.
