Bodily Harm: The Breakthrough Healing Program for Self-injurers by Karen Conterio and Wendy Lader, Ph.D. is an authoritative examination of the behavior of self-injury. Written by the founders of S.A.F.E. ALTERNATIVES® (Self Abuse Finally Ends), it clearly defines what self-injury is and explains the kind of emotional trauma that can lead to self-injurious behaviors. It also includes case studies, diaries, and success stories from a diverse group of clients. Most importantly, Bodily Harm, offers a course of treatment based on years of experience, compassion, advice, and hope for the afflicted and their loved ones. An excellent resource for the self-injurer, their families, friends and therapists.
