Self-harm in adolescence and late teens is known to be increasing,
though it is difficult to detect and inconsistently recorded. This
thorough, practical and evidence-based book provides guidance for
professionals and parents caring for children and young people at
risk of self-harm and suicide.;Claudine Fox and Keith Hawton
discuss risk factors for self-harm, including depression, substance
abuse and antisocial behaviour, and critically examine key
screening instruments that can be used to assess risk. They
describe how suicidal behaviour can be managed and prevented, and
look at the effectiveness of aftercare treatment for those who
self-harm, including school-based suicide-prevention programs and
family therapy. Also addressed are common myths about self-harm and
the problem of varying definitions in this field.;Deliberate
Self-Harm in Adolescence clearly summarizes and evaluates current
research into suicidal behaviour - it is essential reading for
social workers, mental health professionals, GPs, teachers and
parents.
