CRD SUMMARY: This review aimed to determine the effects of bibliotherapy and self-help groups in clinically significant emotional disorders. It concluded that bibliotherapy is more effective than waiting-list or no treatment, but no different to brief psychiatric treatment. Data on self-help groups are lacking. The authors' conclusions follow from the results, but they may have been influenced by biased primary data.
