    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Short description:

    Understanding Self-injury: A Person-Centered Approach offers a new way to think about self-injury that simultaneously draws on the latest empirical research and the insights of individuals who self-injure. The book not only covers the latest scientific and clinical advances in the field but also tackles issues that individuals face every day: stigma, social media, conceptualizations of recovery, and advocacy. This book is a must-read for anyone who wishes to further their understanding of self-injury and adopt a person-centered--rather than a medicalized, condition-centered, or deficit-based--view of the behavior and individuals who engage in it.

    Long description:

    Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI), the purposeful damaging of one's own body tissue without suicidal intent, is a common and serious mental health concern. Engagement in self-injury is associated with numerous mental health difficulties such as major depression. Of particular concern is recent evidence indicating that self-injury is a significant risk factor for suicide. Taken together, understanding self-injury and appropriately responding to people who self-injure is critical.

    Developing a compassionate understanding of self-injury requires not only knowledge of current research but also essential insights from individuals with lived experience. Understanding Self-injury: A Person-Centered Approach offers a significant departure from traditional texts in the field by adopting a person-centered, strengths-based approach to understanding and addressing self-injury. In addition to giving a general introduction to self-injury, this book offers practical tips for families and caregivers, schools, clinicians, and advocates who support individuals who self-injure. Importantly, priority is given to topics that individuals with lived experience of self-injury find central to their experiences, such as stigma, social media, resilience, recovery, and advocacy.

    This book is a must-read for anyone who interacts with or plays a supportive role in the lives of people who self-injure, including mental health professionals and students, school professionals, families, researchers, and, importantly, individuals with lived experience of self-injury.

    This text offers a refreshing perspective on timely topics for understanding and responding to self injury from a positive framework that seamlessly integrates wisdom from the scientific literature and lived experience. Drs. Lewis and Hasking are pushing the field forward with the contents of this book that are likely to inspire all who wish to make a difference in the lives of those affected by self injury. I'm excited to see this contribution to the field of nonsuicidal self injury as it represents a voice that has been missing until now.
