THE Official Book on Self-Injury,
This review is from: Adolescent Self-Injury: A Comprehensive Guide for Counselors and Health Care Professionals (Hardcover)
There is no better book on the market on the subject of self-injury.
This work provides a well-rounded culmination of explanation, conceptualization, supportive research, and applicable tips for the frontline responder. D'Onofrio helps us to understand the inner world of the traumatized child, who can later become the self-injuring adolescent. He articulately puts the reader in touch with the pain and complexity of sufferers and the people who surround them. Readers are provided with an opportunity to endure a mere taste of the numbness or "deadness" that often drives self-injurers to inflict pain on themselves. The later chapters discuss how to best help self-injuring individuals through a firm stance of empathy and clear boundaries combined with useful suggestions and steps to follow so as to best support the needs of the adolescent. D'Onofrio eloquently conveys his profound expertise and understanding to all -- clinicians, parents, as well as novice learners. |
