Self-help is big business, but alas, not always a scientific one.
Self-help books, websites, and movies abound and are important
sources of psychological advice for millions of Americans. But how
can you sift through them to find the ones that work?
Self-Help That Works is an indispensable guide that enables readers
to identify effective self-help materials and distinguish them from
those that are potentially misleading or even harmful. Six
scientist-practitioners bring careful research, expertise, and a
dozen national studies to the task of choosing and recommending
self-help resources.
Designed for both laypersons and mental-health professionals, this
book critically reviews multiple types of self-help resources, from
books and autobiographies to films, online programs, support
groups, and websites, for 41 different behavioral disorders and
life challenges. The revised edition of this award-winning book now
features online self-help resources, expanded content, and new
chapters focusing on autism, bullying, chronic pain, GLB issues,
happiness, and nonchemical addictions. Each chapter updates the
self-help resources launched since the previous edition and expands
the material. The final chapters provide key strategies for
consumers evaluating self-help as well as for professionals
integrating self-help into treatment.
All told, this updated edition of Self-Help that Works evaluates
more than 2,000 self-help resources and brings together the
collective wisdom of nearly 5,000 mental health professionals.
Whether seeking self-help for yourself, loved ones, or patients,
this is the go-to, research-based guide with the best advice on
what works.
