Reviews
'This book is an excellent contemporary account of self-injury and approaches to supporting people who self-injure. The book will be an invaluable resource for anyone working in the field.' Hilary Lindsay, Director, Self-injury Support, Bristol; 'This is an immensely useful text that carefully combines sociological insights with practical advice on responding well to self-injury. The book provides a broad basis through which to develop a deeper understanding of the meanings self-injury has for diverse social groups, before going on to chart the similarly diverse ways that people who hurt themselves can be supported - or support themselves. Grounded in principles of social justice, this is a thoroughly refreshing guide that will be of use to anyone who encounters self-injury in their personal or professional lives.' Dr Amy Chandler, Chancellor's Fellow in Health, University of Edinburgh
