| Summary |
"Michael Hollander, a leading expert on treatment for cutting, uses vivid stories to illustrate how out-of-control emotions lead some teens to hurt themselves, how DBT (dialectical behavior therapy) can help, and what other approaches can be beneficial. Parents get practical strategies for talking to teens about self-injury without making it worse, teaching them specific skills to cope with extreme emotions in a healthier way, finding the right therapist, and managing family stress. Incorporating the latest research, the revised edition offers a deeper understanding of the causes of self-injury."-- Provided by publisher. |
