According to the author in Chapter 3 of the textbook, Serving Those in Need: A Handbook for Managing Faith-Based Human Services Organization;
John McKnight (1995)* argues persuasively in ‘The Careless Society’ that human service systems tend to disable communities in three ways: they divert resources from lower-income to professional, credentialed helpers; they teach people to focus on their needs and deficiencies rather than their resources and potentialities; and they displace community-based citizensÂ’ organizations and their power to solve problems.
