From a leading authority on adolescent self-injury, this reassuring parent guide explains what motivates cutting and how various treatments, such as dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), can provide effective routes to wellness. The book gives parents crucial information on how self-injury differs from suicidal behavior, ways to talk to teens about cutting without making it worse, and practical steps they can take to help teens cope with extreme emotions.
