Remembering the 1978 and 1990 task forces on self-help therapies.
A special series on self-administered therapies was edited by Forrest R. Scogin for the Journal of Clinical Psychology (Volume 59, Number 3). Articles in the edited series failed to mention two task forces on self-help therapies that were sponsored by groups within the American Psychological Association in 1978 and 1990. Consideration of the work by these task forces provides an historical perspective for the issues and recommendations provided in Scogin's series.
