Abstract

A mail survey of 1,103 mental health professionals in IL reveals that they routinely viewed professionally led groups more positively than they did self-help groups on a number of dimensions. The curative factor associated with professional-led groups was valued over factors associated with self-help groups. An alternative framework for professionals' evaluation of consumer-initiated interventions is suggested. 1 Table, 10 References. Adapted from the source document.
