Description

Grounded in a wellness, strengths-based, and developmental perspective, Non-Suicidal Self-Injury is the ideal guide for counsellors and other clinicians seeking to understand self-injurious behaviours without pathologising them.

The book covers topics not previously discussed in other works, including working with families, supervising counsellors working with clients who self-injure, DSM-5 criteria regarding the NSSI diagnosis, NSSI as a protective factor for preventing suicidal behaviour, and advocacy efforts around NSSI.

In each chapter, clinicians will also find concrete tools, including questions to ask, psychoeducational handouts for clients and their families, treatment handouts or treatment plans for counsellors, and more.

Non-Suicidal Self-Injury also includes real-life voices of individuals who self-injure as well as case vignettes to provide examples of how theoretical models or treatments discussed in this book immediately apply to practice.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Praised as a practical and application-orientated guide, this book is valued by professionals for covering often-overlooked areas like clinical supervision, family dynamics, and advocacy. It helps understand the complexities of non-suicidal self-injury, distinguishes it from suicidal behaviour, and offers guidance on confidentiality issues involving minors. The inclusion of case studies and actionable advice makes it a key resource for school counsellors and mental health supervisors alike.
