There are many different group self-help programs, each with its own approach, techniques, associated beliefs, advocates, and in some cases leaders. Concepts and terms that originate in the self-help culture and the Twelve Step culture, such as recovery, dysfunctional families, and codependency, have become firmly embedded in mainstream language. Self-help often uses publicly available information or support groups, both online and in person, where people in similar situations come together. From early examples in self-driven legal practice and home counseling, the connotations of the word have spread and are often applied particularly to education, business, psychology and psychotherapy, commonly distributed through the popular genre of self-help books. According to the APA Dictionary of Psychology, potential benefits of self-help groups that professionals may not be able to provide include friendship, emotional support, experiential knowledge, identity, meaningful roles, and a sense of belonging.
