Self-help or self-improvement
Self-help or self-improvement is a
self-guided improvement—economically,
intellectually, or emotionally—often with a substantial psychological basis.
When engaged in self-improvement,
people often utilize publicly available information or support groups, on
the Internet as well as in person, where people in similar situations join
together. From early examples in self-driven legal practice and
home-spun advice, the connotations of the word have spread and often apply
particularly to education, business, psychology, and psychotherapy,
commonly distributed through the popular genre of self-help books.
According to the APA Dictionary of Psychology, potential benefits
of self-help groups that professionals may not be able to provide include
friendship, emotional support, experiential knowledge, identity,
meaningful roles, and a sense of belonging.
Many different self-help group
programs exist, each with its own focus, techniques, associated beliefs,
proponents, and in some cases, leaders. Concepts and terms originating in
self-help culture and Twelve-Step cultures, such as recovery, dysfunctional
families, and codependency have become firmly integrated into
mainstream language. Groups associated with health conditions may consist
of patients and caregivers. As well as featuring long-time members
sharing experiences, these health groups can become support groups and
clearinghouses for educational material. Those who help themselves by learning
and identifying health problems can be said to exemplify self-help, while
self-help groups can be seen more as peer-to-peer or mutual-support groups.
