Description
This work shows how those in the educational, health care and human service fields can reclaim a sense of power by focusing on the vitality of individuals - individuals who gain their strength from a community of people who share common experiences. Highlighting the success of thousands of self-help groups, the authors offer professionals and non-professionals a new paradigm, one that views people with problems as resources.
