Books like Self harm by Greta McGough

"Self-harm is a much more common occurrence than we might think. It is not something we may care to think about and it is easy not to spot the signs, even the obvious ones. Yet once the thoughts invade our thinking, they are compelling. It may be you. Or someone you know and love might well be suffering in silence. This book explores the issues in a detailed and practical way, so that both sufferers from self-harm and their nearest and dearest can begin to deal with this terrible compulsion. How do we feel? What do we do when we realise that someone is self-harming? How can we move past our own powerful feelings, to change a mindset that has become focused upon self-destruction? We may not want to address this problem, and there are no easy answers. But if we do, we will be able to help ourselves or someone we love back to a fuller, healthier and happier life." --Publisher description.
