Hi all,
I was wondering if any of you could point me towards literature (the peer-reviewed kind, not the Jane Austen kind ) on "self-recovery" (recovery in the absence of professional help) for any d/o's except substance ones. My own searching on pubmed turned up othing. While I know this type of research is unlikely (after all, if these people aren't receiving clinical treatment, they aren't likely to be in a clinical setting..), but I've worked in a lab that does research on alcoholism, and I know we saw research of that type for substance d/o's. I found it interesting and was wondering if it was out there for other d/o's (I was thinking that it might be more prevalent for d/o's with a lot of behavoiral manifestations [i.e., OCD, ED's] but anything would be much appreciated. ).
Thanks!
