Book Description
Foreword by Tracy Alderman
The release of this second edition of HTHW could not be more timely. Since the release of the first edition in 1999, we have seen more and more people who are hurting and who are hurting themselves. We have also witnessed an increase in the media attention focused on self-injury; media attention which sometimes sensationalizes this behavior at the cost of accuracy. If we were to believe much of what the media presents, there is a self-injury epidemic infecting our youth, for which there is no cure or prevention (or cause, in many cases). With PR like this, no wonder people react poorly when they hear about self-injury! In HTHW, Jan has done an outstanding job of correcting the media misinformation and showing self-injury for what it is: a method of coping for people who are in emotional distress. Jan clarifies many of the myths and misconceptions surrounding this behavior, helping to reduce the stigma attached to self-injury.
Drawing from her decades of experience as a counselor, trainer, and author, Jan utilizes a variety of sources of information to assist in reinforcing her points. In this book you will read some of the most current research from noted experts in the field of self-injury. Also, the case studies and session transcripts that Jan presents will keep you mesmerized. These courageous individuals allow you to join them in their difficult journeys from hurting and self-injury to healing and health. Finally, Jan lets those who are self-injuring speak for themselves, devoting an entire section to their creative works.
Not being one to shy away from controversial issues, Jan tackles the difficult topic of recovered versus "false" memories. In HTHW, Jan clarifies the way in which self-injury, dissociation, and recovered memories are intertwined, leading to the return of traumatic memories in later life. You’ll also see the traumatic effects of rediscovering these memories only to be told by a mental health professional that they’re "false" or created. Jan also provides strategies for mental health workers to ensure that they work effectively with their clients so as to not risk allegations of creating "false" memories.
Amazingly enough, many people still view self-injury as the same thing as suicide. While self-injury is usually done to help a person cope and get through a difficult situation (a life-sustaining behavior),
