Synopsis
This book discusses ways in which services can change the focus from managing or 'stopping' self harm to working with young people in more permissive, 'young person centred' ways. Although the need for such a change is increasingly being recognised, the practical implications and ethical dilemmas have rarely been explored. This book addresses this gap by providing in-depth descriptions of a range of innovative practices.

Review
The contributions in this book recognise that positive strategies are requred in this often distressing and uncomfortable area of work, and offer some thought-provoking recommendations on how to support young people who self-harm. The book should leave readers - people working across children's services and service users alike - with renewed optimism. Jude Sellen, Mental Health Today (UK), November 2007. I found the writing refreshing and easy to negotiate - Several chapters relate theory to practice but this is not clumsy or unnecessary. Rather, the theory adds strength to the discussion which is at all times focussed on the practical application of the work and the narratives of the young people. The narratives both illuminate the work being related an also serve as a constant reminder of the humanity and validity of the narratives of people who self-harm. Kathryn Kinmond, Lecturer in Psychology at Manchester Metropolitan Univerisity, Youth and Policy Journal (UK) Spring 2008
