The format of this booklet is good as it is small, and ideal for someone who just wants a brief guide to self-injury. However, the information given is very Christian orientated (it is part of a series of booklets called "Resources for Changing Lives") and therefore will not be suitable for many people (even those who are religious), as it gives a very one-sided view of self-injury.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Christian perspective on self-harm, 23 Feb 2008

By	moon tree (UK) - See all my reviews

This is a short booklet about self-harm written from a Christian perspective. The author has an excellent understanding of the reasons why people self-injure, and his writing is compassionate and non-judgemental. However, when it comes to ways of overcoming the problem, he only mentions spiritual approaches, looking at the Bible and prayer. There is no discussion of coping skills, addressing mental health issues, or the many other ways in which self-injurers can be helped.

Although I am a Christian, I have found that self-harm is far more than just a spiritual problem, and that practical approaches like CBT are needed. Definitely buy this booklet if you're looking for ways your faith can help you, but take a look at some non-religious books on self-harm as well.
