Pressezitat
"Archibald has quantitatively estimated the legitimacy of self-help organizations via a comprehensive, careful, and original examination of medical, academic, popular, and political opinion on these groups (in newspapers, journals, and congressional hearings), and analyzed competition for resources among the groups utilizing all of these data. This book is a very relevant reference tool for anyone interested in the phenomenon of self-help in the U.S."
