Product Description

Review

"Although this is written for patients, I found this to be a valuable resouce for A and E nurses, providing an insight into understanding the complexities surrounding self-harm and suggesting a way forward for those who self-harm. This is a fascinating approach which I feel will be of great interest in A and E nurses and prove to enhance their knowledge base on the subject however experienced they are." - Stephanie Davis, Accident and Emergency Nursing Journal

2.0 out of 5 stars A book for the suicidal not self harmers, 31 Oct 2004
By A Customer
As a self harmer I bought this book believing it was a book about how to overcome the problem. In fact this is a companion to help siucidal people get through their darkest moments and look to the future ahead of them. For that purpose I can see how this book may be useful but as a book for self harmers it is useless. I do feel that the title is misleading.

3.0 out of 5 stars More for suicide than self-harm, 1 May 2008
By Mrs. M. L. Hillery "marymoose99" (Cumbria, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The title of this book is misleading. The focus is really on suicide prevention rather than self-injury. Throughout the book there is no clear distinction made between suicide and self-injury as they are lumped together as one. It is also implied that self-injury/suicidal behaviour is often used as a tool for manipulating people.

That said, some of the exercises might be useful for people who self-injure, and a lot of the information is good advice for those who are suicidal. However, as a tool for dealing with most cases of self-injury, I can't see it as being particularly useful or groundbreaking.

4.0 out of 5 stars a real guide for those who are desperate, 4 Feb 2006
By A Customer
This book is great! It shows the suicidal person how to see the light again. There is worksheets which help you through your tough times. I am now receiving help but before i read this book everything was impossible, i was so alone and thought i deserved to be punished. If you feel at all like this; this book is for you. It is for the suicidal person, ivaluable to others.
If you are facing darkness, then PLEASE get help! Don't let the thought of suicide overwhelm you.

The only thing about the book is that i'm only a teen and it focuses more on adults. But it still helps.
I hope this book will give you courage to find the light and you recover soon!! Remember, Things CAN and WILL change!
