5.0 out of 5 stars Thank you Karen and Wendy!, 8 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Bodily Harm: Break-through Treatment Program for Self-Injurers (Hardcover)
What can I say about this awesome book that saved my life? I was browsing in the bookstore one day and I noticed a book on self-injury: Bodily Harm. Having been a self-injurer for a long time I thumbed through it to see if this book could offer me anything. The book was absolutely amazing. It explores the types of people who self-injure, the reasonings behind the self-injury and it contains an explanation of the S.A.F.E. (Self Abuse Finally Ends) Program TM. Founded by Karen Conterio in 1985 S.A.F.E. offers hope for self-injurers. After being hospitalized too many times, and after years of therapy, I decided to attend the S.A.F.E. Program in Chicago. There is no review that can communicate how S.A.F.E saved my life. I am now living as a whole person, without self-injury, for the first time in my life. I owe Karen and Wendy my life. I HIGHLY recommend this book not only to self-injurers but to their families and friends as well. I even more strongly recommend attending the S.A.F.E. Program. Thank you Karen and Wendy - I love you both!

5.0 out of 5 stars Complete and Very Helpful Book, 30 Jul 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Bodily Harm: Break-through Treatment Program for Self-Injurers (Hardcover)
Having recently gone through the SAFE Alternatives program myself, I can say that this book follows closely the inpatient treatment program and ideas, and would probably be very useful to people who cannot afford the program or who have been denied access to it for whatever reason. I agree with other reviewers who say that the program is presented as a "cure," which I don't quite think it is. What I do think it is, and what this book is, is a wonderful starting point on the road to real self-understanding and ending of self-injury. It's not a cure-all, and it's not guaranteed. I have injured since completing the program, but I have done so far less frequently and far less severely. The urges are less pronounced and I have more tools with which to deal with them. I recommend this book especially to family member of self-injurers as a way to understand the phenomenon, and also to people who are themselves injurers, because it is far less triggering than other books on the same subject.

5.0 out of 5 stars ...Changed my Life..., 30 May 1999
By A Customer
When I found this book last year, I found the hope I had been looking. Therapists and psychiatrists alike have not wanted to help me, because they saw my self-injury problem as something untreatable. Conterio and Lader believe just opposite. After reading thier book, I decided to attend thier S.A.F.E. ALternatives program. It was the best thing I have ever done. I gained insight to my self-injurious behavior and learned the tools it takes to be injury-free. This book offers a lot of good information...and has helped me to educate those around me. I know that the suggestions of Conterio and Lader work...if you use them! I highly commend them for thier work in helping others to become injury-free. They have changed my life forever...
