Full Description:
Uniquely practical and comprehensive, this timely guide addresses a problem that is on the rise, particularly among adolescents and young adults. Practitioners gain a wealth of knowledge about the variety and causes of self-injurious behavior and how to recognize it in people at risk, ranging from those who do not have psychiatric diagnoses to those with eating or mood disorders, posttraumatic stress disorder, personality disorders, or psychoses. Illustrated with detailed case examples, clear guidelines are presented for assessing clients and conducting evidence-based interventions using replacement skills training, cognitive-behavioral therapy, exposure treatment, psychopharmacology, and family- and school-based strategies. Reproducible clinical materials are included. "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, PhD, Executive Director, American Association of Suicidology "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."
