(by Nérée St-Amand and Huguette Clavette, 1992, 175 pp., #436, $20.00)

This book explores new practices that focus on self-help and mutual aid networks. The authors begin by explaining the underpinnings of self-help/mutual aid, including how and why it works. They then present extracts of interviews with people who have experienced institutional care and are now attempting to live independently.
