Its future, hopefully, is to keep reminding us that the personal, the spiritual and the political are all part of the same human yearning to move beyond the old boundaries, boxes and diagnoses to new understandings and new realities. I mind less where it goes, than that it continue to peep through everything we create, and be our inspiration.

Self-help books offer understanding, empathy, encouragement, tools to understand and manage life, and a sense of participation in a network of people in a similar situation. Further, there is a democratization of knowledge such that the psychotherapeutic, psychiatric and medical establishments are sharing wisdom and tools that can be used by individuals, or in peer learning. The effectiveness of integrating professional with self-help is discussed. This is a ‘both/and’ perspective of encouraging people to be aware of the social context that informs their life, but also supporting them in managing and transforming their own attitudes and choices, so that they can chart a course, including a social contribution, that is effective, peaceful and creative.
