The Self-Help Way: Mutual Aid and Health

Bringing Down the Barriers - cover(by Jean-Marie Romeder, with contributions, 1990, 158 pp., #218, $20.00)

This book provides a comprehensive look at the remarkable growth and development of self-help groups and the vital role they play in the lives of an increasing number of people. It probes into the dynamics of "the self-help way," which fosters equality, mutual respect, support and understanding. The Self-Help Way also examines self-help networks and clearinghouses, research findings, professional training needs, and ways in which self-helpers and professionals can learn to relate to each other.
