What is self harm? How does it develop? Is full recovery possible? How
can I help a sufferer? Research has suggested that rates of self-harm in
the UK are higher than anywhere else in Europe. This accessible and
practical book demystifies a subject many people find hard to
understand, assessing the causes of it and showing ways towards
recovery. Throughout the book, the authors draw on case histories and
personal stories, as well as statistics and information from up to date
research in the field.
