Many, human service professionals use self-help books to supplement their services. A content analysis was conducted of the top 10 books on tile New York Times be,best-seller list over 10 years (1988-1998) to determine the degree to which the books empower individuals to resist gender-based socialization messages. The Sour best-selling books contained advice for both genders to behave consistently with traditional gender socialization. Other books were generally empowering of women and men to resist these messages.
