Baywood Publishing Company, Inc, May 2012
Editor: Fred Massarik Associate Editor: Carl A. Maida
AIMS & SCOPE
A unique new Journal designed to link together the wide spectrum of people, issues, and viewpoints involved in the dynamically growing, world-wide self-help movement.
As a subscriber, you can look to IJSHSC first for accurate newsworthy information on all the current developments in the world of self-help groups—locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally; on clearinghouse activities, contacts with government officials, new programs, advocacy actions, coalitions, funding possibilities and computer networking for contact and data, to name just a few.
IJSHSC presents viewpoints and opinions on the most important issues in the self help field today, such as:
- relationships of professionals to self help groups, and vice versa;
- relationships of 12-step and non 12-step programs;
- sponsoring auspices for and personnel of clearinghouses;
- can government subsidies to self help groups exist without restrictive government control?
IJSHSC contains articles of a scientific character—presentations of theory and research on self-help, as well as notices of current literature and other materials of value in the field. Occasional thematic issues will focus on:
- 12-step and on 12-step groups, their likenesses and differences, their relationships, examples of cooperation;
- the self-help movement among minorities—Blacks, Hispanics, Asians;
- AIDS and self-help;
- and self help and spirituality
