The therapeutic benefits of helping others have long been
recognized by everyday people. This concept was first formalized in a highly
cited and often reprinted article by Frank Riessman that appeared in 1965 in Social Work. Riessman defined the "helper therapy" principle on the basis of his observations of
various self-help groups, where helping others is deemed absolutely
essential to helping oneself. These are grassroots groups that nowadays involve
tens of millions of Americans. As the saying goes, "if you help someone up
the hill, you get closer yourself." Riessman observed that the act of
helping another heals the helper more than the person helped. In the early
1970s, the "helper therapy" principle was noted in a few premier psychiatry journals as professional researchers found that helping
others was beneficial in a variety of contexts, including among teens doing
tutoring for younger children (Rogeness & Badner, 1973)

I couldn't agree more. It is such a nice feeling when you help another person. Expecially when you have no expectations to received anything in return. I often help my friends by taking of their children and I know that if I ever need help they would always be there for me as well.
