Understanding Self-injury: A Person-Centered Approach offers a new way to think about self-injury that simultaneously draws on the latest empirical research and the insights of individuals who self-injure. The book not only covers the latest scientific and clinical advances in the field but also tackles issues that individuals face every day: stigma, social media, conceptualizations of recovery, and advocacy. This book is a must-read for anyone who wishes to
further their understanding of self-injury and adopt a person-centered-rather than a medicalized, condition-centered, or deficit-based-view of the behavior and individuals who engage in it.
