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.
