This guide is written for individuals who have deliberately harmed themselves. Developed through a major research project the contents of the manual has been informed and shaped by many users and expert professionals.
In many countries there has been an alarming increase in rates of suicide and self-harm, yet the stigma attached to these difficulties often leads to sub-optimal care. Illustrated with multiple case-histories, it teaches users important skills; for understanding and evaluating self-harm; for keeping safe in crisis; for dealing with seemingly insolvable problems; for developing coping strategies; for re-connecting with life. Health workers who regularly come into contact with individuals who have self-harmed will find the wealth of practical advice in this book extremely valuable for recommendation to patients either as a self-help book, or in the context of brief therapy.
