Learn the terms and concepts related to this type of behavior. Non-suicidal self-injury has been in existence to some extent for centuries. Today, the practices are increasing in terms of the number of people engaging in this often-baffling behavior. By the use of accessible language, rich descriptions of concepts, and realistic case examples, \u003ci\u003eCutting and Self Harm\u003c\/i\u003e seeks to demystify these behaviors that afflict self-injuring individuals and negatively impact their family members and friends.  Author Chris Simpson, PhD, has written and presented on the subject of self-harm since 2001. He begins the book by answering the question \"What is cutting and self-harm and how does it occur?\" and by explaining important terms and concepts related to the behavior. He then covers current controversies about self-harming behaviors and addresses frequently confusing topics, such as the contributing factors to self-injury, psychopharmacological treatment of the behavior, and the use of group therapeutic approaches in treatment facilities. The final section of the book presents additional resources for those impacted by self-injury.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The book provides an uncomplicated, if cursory, overview of self-injury that may be useful to non-professional readers as a brief introduction to the topic.
