The chapter studies how a national self-help actor cooperates with a local Norwegian community about self-help work. It analyses this cooperation as a type of boundary work passing several challenges: The initiating work by the self-help actor moves from one-sided information work to negotiations with the local authorities, where the primary objective is to create a common understanding of self-help. Later, expanded networking and a type of translation of the understanding of self-help to new actors and situations are taking place. The main project for the self-help actor was to create a common understanding of self-help, meeting places for self-help groups and networks. The chapter concludes that the most challenging stage was the networking activities including the translation of the common understanding of self-help.

The chapter discusses collaborations and «borderwork» between self-help/mutual aid activists and professionals by the example of the project Utviklingsprosjekt LINK Vestfold. The project was initiated and run by three patient education resource centres (LMS) in Vestfold county in 2009–2010, financially supported by the Directorate of Health and in close collaboration with the National Competence Centre Self-Help Norway. Essentially, the project was very successful, resulting in a broad and active network of professionals and volunteers and the formation of new self-help groups. The project paved the way for a new district office of the National Competence Centre. At the same time, the collaboration revealed certain tensions and ambiguities on both sides, originating in close similarities as well as important differences regarding the use and practice of experiential knowledge – as opposed to professional knowledge – by actors operating in between and on the fringe of established fields. The project highlights how processes of standardization of the self-help model (by Self-Help Norway) is met by kind of resistance and how self-help as a «boundary object» needs to be kept flexible to adjust to different local contexts. This may be an act of balance in a context where the self-help movement is the weaker part regarding institutional strength, in need of guarding the autonomy of self-help groups.

Self Help Groups

In this chapter, the author discusses how, and to which extent, self-help groups differ from treatment groups in their approach to personal transformation. The focus is on the self-help group’s work, exploring what kind of community a self-help group is and what is happening there. The chapter compares two main models for self-organized self-help groups and points out some common “therapeutic mechanisms” that are also shared by therapy groups. At the same time there are interesting differences, not only between professional group therapy and self-help groups, but also between a 12-step group (e.g. Anonymous Alcoholics) and a typical “Self-help Norway group”. Self-help Norway is more psychologically oriented and emphasizes personal autonomy and self-control, while AA groups build up under a strong collective identity and view self-control as an illusory target for an addict. The author argues that the primary objective of self-help groups is not making new intimate friends. The therapeutic effectiveness of self-help groups seems to depend on that the intimacy and confidentiality within the group does not transform it into a “new family”. It is the quality of becoming “confidential strangers” that is the clue here.
