This book examines the institutionalization of self-help in the
United States using organizational and social movement theories.
Looking at a fifty-year period, Archibald charts the formation and
dissolution of over 500 medical, academic, and popular
organizations. He explores the ways in which the marginal practices
of sufferers of chronic conditions like Parkinson's or alcoholism
became the common solution for all manner of medical, behavioural,
and psychological problems.
