Self-Harm in Adolescents provides well-researched and evidenced based information and research about what self-harm is, indicating key features of this difficulty for adolescents, and their caregivers and clinicians.Self-harming behavior in teenagers is often a distressing experience for all parties involved, leaving the individual, caregivers and professionals, at times, feeling panicked and powerless. Written from a clinically experienced perspective, this book empathically guides the reader through what self-harm is, potential reasons for self-harming behavior and how you may create safe environments to listen to, support and help reduce self-harming behavior within adolescents. With cross-cultural reflections and a detailed look at the impact of social media Holmes provides a comprehensive overview of self-harm within adolescents and for the reader creates an invaluable toolkit for supporting the cessation of self-harming behavior.With practical resources and explorations of clinical examples this book enables clinicians and caregivers to help reduce and alleviate self-harm, decreasing the distress for all involved, towards a better quality of life.

Recensioner i media

‘Helen Holmes’ book provides a timely guide to how to support young people who are self-harming. Fully informed by the latest research, the book draws on a range of theoretical perspectives, and includes a number of powerful case studies, to provide the reader with both an understanding, and practical advice, on how best to support young people.’Nick Midgley, PhD, Professor of Psychological Therapies with Children and Young People, Anna Freud and UCL, London, UK‘This book will be of great interest to anyone who has lived experience of self-harm in adolescence and also to those professionals, guardians and parents who sometimes struggle to know how best to help. It offers a comprehensive review of both theories of why young people self-harm, and the evidence base for different kinds of treatment. But most importantly, it offers a message of hope and optimism to young people who often feel stigmatised and rejected by services.’Dr. Gwen Adshead, Consultant Forensic Psychiatrist, Broadmoor Hospital‘This is an extraordinarily well thought-through discussion of the rising rates of self-harm in adolescents, both causes and approaches to help. Helen Holmes has worked hard to document all the details of growing up into an individual in a society that homogenises us and exploits us. Self-harm is a scream to society as well as to one’s own self. This is a go-to book for parents, schools and helping agencies.’R. D. Hinshelwood, Fellow British Psychoanalytic Society, Professor Emeritus, University of Essex, UK
