In addition to this I also studied litterature of relevance. The results of this studie showed a difference between how the respondents experiended self-help-groups. Self-help-groups are important in many ways, for security, for support, for solidarity.

I concluded my essay by stating that self-enhancement can be compared with the quality of life. (Less)
