Clackamas's Reviews > Bodily Harm: The Breakthrough Healing Program For Self-Injurers

I coudn't tell who the authors intended to read this book.

There's some good information here, though if mental health practitioners were the target audience they probably already know the stats/success/relapse potential of self-harm. There is nothing new here for them.

In all, this book read like a big advertisement for the authors' system. The authors only worked with people who were willingly getting treatment, who are therefore likelier to succeed anyway. There was no good advice on how to help clients see that this is an unhealthy coping skill or how to help them replace it with a more productive skill. The writing was dry and didn't feel accessible to clients, if they were the target audience.
