Reliability tier 2: a book review in an established magazine, used here for the specific membership figure it quotes from Alexander Stille's researched book on the group, 600 patients signed up for therapy about fifteen years into the group's history, 350 living in shared apartments, rather than for the reviewer's own independent research.
