These groups that professionals. These groups have flourished since the 1970s and continue to serve more people than professional therapists. Yet these groups have been criticized for fostering a culture of whiners and victims, and for not providing professional help as needed.

The groups as a whole, Borkman posits, draw of the life experiences of their members to foster nurturing, support, and transformation within a "circle of sharing".
