Subtle scars disappearing up a shirt sleeve, unexplained bruises,
burn marks. As many as one out of every four young people engage in
non-suicidal self-injury, defined as the deliberate destruction of
body tissue without suicidal intent. Parents who uncover this
alarming behavior are gripped by uncertainty and flooded with
questions-why is my child doing this? Is this a suicide attempt?
What did I do wrong? What can I do to stop it? And yet basic
educational resources for parents with self-injuring children are
sorely lacking. Healing after Self-Injury provides
desperately-needed guidance to parents and others who love a young
person struggling with self-injury. First and foremost, adolescent
psychologists Janis Whitlock and Elizabeth Lloyd-Richardson believe
that parents must appreciate how important their role is in their
child's recovery; there is a lot that parents can do to support
their self-injuring children. This book offers strategies for
identifying and alleviating sources of distress in children's
lives, improving family communication (particularly around
emotions), and seeking professional help. Importantly, it also
provides compassionate advice to parents with personal challenges
of their own, explaining how these can impact the entire family.
The book will help parents partner with their children to identify,
build, and use skills that will assist them in recovering from
self-injury. Vivid anecdotes drawn from the authors' extensive
in-depth interviews with real families in recovery from self-injury
put a human face on what for many families is a distressing and
often isolating experience. Healing after Self-Injury is a
must-have for parents who want to assist in their child's recovery,
as well as for anyone who lives with, works with, or cares about
self-injuring youth and their families.
