Self-Injury and Cutting: Stopping the Pain
Library Binding
(Rosen Classroom July 15, 2013)
Self-injury and cutting refers to harming ones own body on purpose, a troubling problem that tends to begin in the teen or early adult years. Also known by several other terms, including self-harm and self-mutilation, the behavior is often used as an outlet to get temporary relief from tormenting emotions. Written by a medical doctor, this book offers honest information about self-injury, who it tends to affect, and possible reasons people self-injure. The author is straightforward, yet sympathetic and supportive, in detailing the dangers of the behavior and how teens can help themselves or others to stop. Myths and facts, questions for a therapist, and organizations to contact for further information are helpful features.
