Self-help has always been a major activity involving people sharing experiences and problems with a view to mutual benefit. In recent years it has become increasingly popular, in both developed and developing countries as a means of empowering people. This book is designed to examine the much-neglected relationship between social work and self-help by bringing together a range of important writing - books, research reports, journal articles - and a number of significant illustrations of current practice.
