Learn the terms and concepts related to this type of behavior.\n\nNon-suicidal self-injury has been in existence to some extent for centuries. Today, the practices are increasing in terms of the number of people engaging in this often-baffling behavior. By the use of accessible language, rich descriptions of concepts, and realistic case examples, Cutting and Self Harm seeks to demystify these behaviors that afflict self-injuring individuals and negatively impact their family members and friends.\n\nAuthor Chris Simpson, PhD, has written and presented on the subject of self-harm since 2001. He begins the book by answering the question \"What is cutting and self-harm and how does it occur?\" and by explaining important terms and concepts related to the behavior. He then covers current controversies about self-harming behaviors and addresses frequently confusing topics, such as the contributing factors to self-injury, psychopharmacological treatment of the behavior, and the use of group therapeutic approaches in treatment facilities. The final section of the book presents additional resources for those impacted by self-injury.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Greenwood","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44428117344309,"sku":"ByrdShop_161069872X","price":33.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781610698726_3159de8a-8a1b-4cd2-a761-420fbb356e0b.jpg?v=1784272008","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/cutting-and-selfharm-health-and-medical-issues-today-9781610698726","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
