Regarding self-help as a legal doctrine, see: Self-help (law)

The term self-help can refer to any case whereby an individual or a group, such as a support group, betters themselves economically, intellectually or emotionally. The connotations of the phrase often apply particularly to education, business, psychological or psychotherapeutic nostrums, purveyed through the popular genre of the "self-help" books and self-help personal development movements.

Before a social movement in any cultural group develops enough size, tradition, expertise and social recognition, it undergoes the self help phase of group development. When any social group reaches a certain size (about 80 members), the pattern with human adults seems to be that it will develop a self help "faction" that may eventually bud off (or break away) from the parent group. Often competing larger groups may try to dismiss or otherwise minimize the break away group by describing it as "self help" since its expertise is not supposedly so significant nor true as the older group.
