The Self-help Way
This publication offers a summary of current knowledge in the field of self-help/mutual aid. It proposes a new definition of self-help groups, outlines a theory of motivation for mutual aid that gives readers a better understanding of the forces and dynamics at work in the mutual aid practised in self-help groups.
