Déformation professionnelle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Déformation professionnelle is a French phrase, meaning a tendency to look at things from the point of view of one's own profession and forget a broader perspective. It is a pun on the expression "formation professionnelle," meaning "professional training." The implication is that all (or most) professional training results to some extent in a distortion of the way the professional views the world. "When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail," is an adage describing this phenomenon.
