5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, insightful, readable- and British, 1 Jun 1999

By A Customer

It took me a while to find this excellent book on self-injury, becuase Amazon online have not given it a subject link as they have the other books on self-mutilation. Very similar to Tracy Alderman's excellent self help book for people who hurt themselves, the exercises in Jan Sutton's book are less threatening and easier to complete, and she relates self-injury to other self destructive behaviours. Many people struggle with more than one self destructive coping mechanism, alternating between ED behaviour and cutting, for instance, which makes Sutton's veiws especially interesting. Great to have a British list of contacts and resources, and wonderful to have a book that informs and doesn't condescend.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not very helpful, 1 Jul 2002

By A Customer

This book focuses too much on self-injury caused by serious trauma, like sexual abuse. Little or no material on cases where the cause is hard to find.

4.0 out of 5 stars New insight, 26 May 2002

By A Customer

This book provides a sensitive review of the experiences of someone who engages in self-harm. Perhaps however it is slightly too focussed on sexual abuse as the (frequent) cause of self harm, and cutting as the (frequent) consequence. Never the less, the author provides excellent information for people working with self-injurers including graphical formulations that cannot help but guide the clinician, and the self-harmer, in understanding the, (their), strange action of self-injury from a much clearer perspective. I certainly recommend it.
