Get into Reading as an intervention for common mental health problems: exploring catalysts for change by Dowrick et al builds on increasing evidence for the
efficacy of non-medical strategies to improve mental health and wellbeing. Two weekly reading groups were held for 12
months, in a general practice and a mental health drop-in centre, for people
with a diagnosis of depression. Reductions in depressive symptoms were observed
among group participants, with three
potential catalysts for change identified as: literary form and content, group
facilitation and group processes.
