HEALING BIAS

Bias develops systematically - we must dismantle it systematically, too.

Human bias developed from a survival instinct which flagged difference and change as a potential threat to resources. Yet even when resources are no longer in question, previous fears and biases remain - and with globalization, the communication of these biases is perpetuated. In short, bias is not a question of one's character, but a socially transmitted disease. The Crawford Bias Reduction Theory & Training approach is a systematic approach to reducing this transmission.

This book offers a blueprint for addressing bias in all facets of life, emphasizing its impact on personal growth and community health. It provides a clear, structured method for recognizing and combating bias, combining clinical insight with practical strategies for everyday application. With real-life examples and actionable advice, Healing Bias translates complex ideas into relatable, empowering solutions. Written from a clinical psychology perspective, it balances academic depth with real-world relevance, making it an essential guide for anyone looking to build deeper, more inclusive connections.
