Meh.
This book was written in 1998, and you can tell. There's one point where they point to the grunge style being a cause in the self-harm epidemic. By now, grunge has been out for 20 years.
I liked how they wrote about the reasons people self-injure, that it's dealing with tough things in life that you can't deal with, that you need an escape from. I wish more healthcare providers knew that, but they're getting better.
I didn't like how the book felt like a big advertisement for their program, how they help people "no one else could help". It felt fake.
