TLDR
Organizational beliefs and group processes in meetings of Recovery tend to “trap” members in the organization indefinitely, and the “power of positive thinking” about the success of the Recovery method discourages contact by members with other kinds of community mental health facilities, so that Recovery groups are isolated in the community.

TLDR
The underlying psychology of membership, i.e., the shared attitudes and social cohesiveness of the members, facilitated the achieving of common goals in parent groups to combat drug abuse in children and adolescents.

TLDR
