Most compellingly, it delivers what it says on the book cover: it is a practical guide. The voice of a wise and experienced clinician is apparent throughout, and this will be particularly reassuring to, and welcomed by, practitioners who are relatively inexperienced in working with self-injury...Walsh's writing is particularly fluent and he has made a sometimes repellant subject engaging and readable, while never appearing voyeuristic or sensational. He manages never to present information in such a shocking way as to alienate the reader and seems sensitive to his audience's capacity to tolerate horror and respectful of patients whom he discusses...this text will be invaluable for any practitioner who works with patients who self-injure; the novice will be informed of key issues to guide his practice and the more experienced practitioner is sure to learn from the wealth of experience and knowledge that Walsh shares. I am glad to have read it and would confidently recommend it to others. - Helen Kennerley, Journal of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy, Vol. 39, No. 3, May 2011 Finally there is a book that integrates the most current research in the field of self-injury with useful clinical approaches. Walsh's expertise as a researcher and clinician shines in his sensible approach to an often misunderstood and difficult topic. Through the use of case examples, research, and practical exercises, this book provides professionals with a thorough understanding of self-injury and its treatment. - Tracy Alderman, Chapman University - San Diego; author of The Scarred Soul: Understanding and Ending Self-Inflicted Violence, USA Comprehensive and highly readable, this book provides what has long been needed - a thorough, compassionate, and practical guide to understanding, evaluating, and treating the complex and multifaceted behavior that is self-injury. Walsh's book is sure to become an invaluable and indispensable resource, required reading for anyone working with those who self-injure. - Caroline Kettlewell, author of Skin Game: A Memoir Walsh delivers a wise and thoughtful set of directives for reaching those who self-harm. He clearly defines their dynamics and constructs an assessment and treatment strategy that is sound and empirically based. This book deserves every clinician's attention. - Alan L. Berman, Executive Director, American Association of Suicidology, USA A pioneer in the field, Walsh has created a comprehensive guide to understanding and treating self-injury. His compilation of current research and his discussion of available treatment models are unparalleled. - Wendy Lader and Karen Conterio, Founders, S.A.F.E. Alternatives; authors of Bodily Harm: The Breakthrough Treatment Program for Self-Injurers When I asked my seminar of school psychologist interns how many were presently working with young people who self-injure, every hand in the room went up. This excellent, well-organized text has given my graduate students strategies for assessment, intervention, and management of self-injury that will likely be well utilized in daily professional practice. - Joy E. Fopiano, Program and Clinical Coordinator, School Psychology, Southern Connecticut State University, USA Walsh's clear explanations of the therapeutic models enables even beginning clinicians with little exposure to CBT to understand the origins and rationale for his approach, and then be able to apply the techniques in their work with clients. - Clinical Social Work Journal Finally there is a book that integrates the most current research in the field of self-injury with useful clinical approaches.
