Description
The contemporary cultural phenomenon of self-help is highly visible and yet inadequately understood. This study explores the seeming polarization of self-help the splitting of the individual (the self) and the collective (the help) through detailed ethnographic examination of self-help books and self-help groups. It relates these poles by exploring a central and connecting event, hypothesized as the hyphen in self-help, a workshop for a group of readers led by a self-help book author.
