In Britain, one person in 130 is a self-mutilator; in the US self-mutilation is almost as common as bulimia and anorexia, yet the condition is not recognized as a clinical disorder and few understand it. This work has been written for the self-mutilator, parents, friends, and therapists and explains why the disorder manifests in self-harming behaviour and describes how the self-mutilator can be helped.

"Levenkron understands the need for sharing basic information about this taboo subject... As a therapist who has worked with this problem for more than 20 years, he has much to offer." New England Journal of Medicine "Levenkron diminishes the horror of self-harming, promotes understanding and offers hope. Similarly, through being inclusive he addresses the needs of sufferers, their families and health professionals alike... With compassion and patience... He demystifies the condition and brings it into the mainstream of medical practice. He's also very readable." New Statesman"  Be the first to write a customer review
