CUT: Teens and Self-Injury provides an intimate look at a largely unacknowledged problem that affects thousands of young people, their families and friends. Using the words, music and artwork of the teens themselves, director Wendy Schneider draws back the curtain on the sensationalism and secrecy surrounding the cycle of self-harm and brings this hidden issue into sharp, clear focus. As teens articulate their experience with self-injury, we see them begin to confront their urges and their deepest feelings. Personal struggles are offset by interviews with parents and mental health professionals who address the problem from a broader context, and by rock icon, Shirley Manson, who shares her own experience with self-injury. Compelling, incisive and profoundly moving, CUT issues a call to bring the problem of self-injury out of the shadows and reminds us that the first step towards healing is an honest acknowledgment of reality. Includes music by Garbage, Plumb, Gina Young, and Cyndi Boste. Running Time: 57 minutes.  Go to "More Info" for clips from the film.
Self-Injury with Wendy Lader, American Psychological Association (APA)
Our Price: $99.95

In 'Self-Injury' Dr. Wendy Lader, co-founder of S.A.F.E. ALTERNATIVES®, demonstrates her brief analytic approach to working with clients who purposefully injure themselves.  Self-injury, which often takes the form of cutting or burining is best viewed as a coping strategy: clients usually injure themselves because they want to avoid some painful emotion, and self-injury brings a sense of control over these unwanted feelings.
