Description
This book offers a fresh perspective on self-harm, focusing on the often-overlooked area of 'hidden' behaviour. Maggie Turp presents case studies that highlight the importance of understanding and addressing this complex issue in practice.
Through detailed clinical accounts, Turp shows how recognition and understanding of hidden self-harm can improve treatment outcomes for those affected. The book draws on psychoanalytic theory to provide a nuanced approach to working with clients who may not be immediately identifiable as self-harming.
A valuable resource for professionals in fields such as social work, psychology, teaching, nursing, and counselling, Hidden Self-Harm provides practical guidance on building on the self-care tendencies that lead individuals to seek help. Written in straightforward language, this book is an essential resource for anyone working with clients who may be struggling with hidden self-harm.
