Review

"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, PhD, adjunct instructor, Chapman University-San Diego; author of The Scarred Soul: Understanding and Ending Self-Inflicted Violence

"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

"A pioneer in the field, Dr. 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. The steady rise in self-injurious behaviors makes it imperative that all clinicians be prepared to work with clients who utilize these unhealthy coping strategies. This book will be invaluable toward that end."--Wendy Lader, PhD, and Karen Conterio, Founders, S.A.F.E. Alternatives; authors of Bodily Harm: The Breakthrough Treatment Program for Self-Injurers

“Self-injury is an increasing challenge for schools and communities across the United States. Behaviors such as self-inflicted cutting, scratching, burning, hitting and excoriation of wounds are becoming a regular part of middle school, high school, and college life. Walsh provides a scholarly summary of what is known and what needs to be known to address this intense social challenge. Offering a needed perspective, the text integrates current definitions and assessment practices and summarizes the array of clinical strategies being used to address self-injury.”--Robert H. Horner, PhD, Area of Special Education, University of Oregon

"This is one of the first books to describe a cognitive-behavioral perspective on deliberate self-injury. Setting the standard for other texts that might follow, it covers an important and challenging area for clinicians. Graduate students and front-line mental health professionals will profit greatly from the compassionate approach offered by Walsh in this book."--Dean McKay, PhD, Department of Psychology, Fordham University

"Treating Self-Injury offers mental health practitioners the ultimate practice guidelines for giving competent care to those who engage in these extreme coping behaviors. This is no band-aid treatise: 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
