Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do some substance abuse populations need to inflict pain on themselves? The reasons behind the need to self-harm are extremely complex and largely misunderstood. For each person the causative surroundings are different. However, usually they include difficult personal circumstances, past trauma (including childhood sexual and emotional abuse), or economic or social deprivation together with some level of mental disorder (including depression/impulsiveness, suicide and eating disorder). A persons self-harming behaviour may often be associated with the misuse of drugs or alcohol. The fact is that deliberate self-harm is a way of expressing and dealing with profound agony. It is a sign of the emotional pain. It is a coping strategy; if you dont have a language to say what is going on inside you, you dont know how to endure what you are feeling. It is a signal that something is wrong rather than a primary disorder.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This practical and accessible book of case studies takes a new look at self-harm, focusing particularly on the under-explored area of `hidden' self-harming behaviour. These behaviours may not be immediately identifiable as self-harm by counsellors, therapists or their clients, but Maggie Turp shows how recognition and understanding of hidden self-harm can improve practice with those affected. The author begins by discussing extracts from infant observation studies that reflect on the role of maternal care in encouraging the tendency towards self-care. A series of detailed case studies follows, including a client who has a serious eating disorder, a client who abuses recreational drugs, works excessively to the detriment of his mental and physical health and sustains a series of unconsciously invited 'accidents', and one caught up in 'self-harm by omission', who fails to 'take care' and delays seeking vital medical care. The clinical accounts highlight the importance of attending to the client as a whole person and of building on the self-caring tendency that has prompted him or her to seek help in the form of counselling or psychotherapy. Written from a psychoanalytic perspective, but using straightforward language, Hidden Self-Harm is a valuable resource for social workers, psychologists, teachers, nurses and lay helpers as well as for counsellors and psychotherapists.

Book excerpt: From the age of three Jonathan Self had only one ambition: not to be like his father. Despite his determination to be a better man -- and a better parent than his own had been -- Jonathan was a twice-divorced father of three and, at age thirty-five, spiraling. Self Abuse is the story of Jonathan's efforts to break free from the cycle of despair and dysfunction that characterized his youth. A brilliantly rendered, unapologetic memoir about the pain and joy of parenthood, Jonathan's story is as heartbreaking, redemptive, and unforgettable as it is true.
