Introduction

Integrity groups are based on the critical importance of honouring contracts, both in the group and in one's life. Molly Mowrer introduces an approach that he calls Integrity Therapy, focusing on ''the opportunities for change and restoration which constantly surround everyone. Therapy calls for a return to community through confession and restitution. Mowrer suggests that although ''non-theistic, Integrity groups are highly religious in that they are vitally concerned with human reintegration, reconciliation, or reconnection. Mowrer suggests that the emphasis on personal responsibility and the notions of fellowship and community have roots in not only Judeo- Christian thinking but also other world religions. Mowrer suggests that Integrity groups reflect the ''emerging form of the Church of the 21st Century''. An important application of the Integrity model is men's and women's issues. The Integrity model served as the treatment modality for the Men's Clinic at the Ottawa Civic Hospital - the first Men's Clinic in North America, if not the world.
