Sign in to keep track of books you’ve read and want to read.
Finding out that your teenager is cutting can be frightening, and it often raises fears about suicide. This guide addresses how a parent can open a conversation about self-injury without escalating tension or pushing the young person further away. The author, a recognized expert in self-injury and dialectical behavior therapy, explains what cutting involves and what tends to bring it to an end. Through detailed case examples, he shows how intense emotions can drive a young person toward hurting themselves, and why structured therapies such as DBT have helped. Readers will find practical approaches for raising an emotionally sensitive teen, teaching coping and problem-solving abilities, handling moments of crisis, and locating a suitable therapist or treatment program.
