Grade 9 Up—Williams looks at a variety of topics within this emotional disorder, including the seriousness of the problem, whether tattoos and piercings count as deliberate self harm, what triggers the behavior, and what can be done to stop it. While self-mutilation doesn't seem to lend itself to the "Opposing Viewpoints" format, essays cover unexpected and hard-to-find stances such as "Not Acting on the Urge to Cut Is a Serious Problem" and "Cosmetic Surgery Boosts Self-Esteem." The discussions on cultural expectations are enlightening, as are the chapters on how best to assist those who feel the need to harm themselves. Researchers will find good, solid information here.—Lynn Evarts, Sauk Prairie High School, Prairie du Sac, WI
