Parenting A Child Affected By Self-harm Issues

Mehr zum Buch

Self-harm in children and young people occurs across society, and is worrying for parents, carers and indeed the children themselves. This handbook provides authoritative, clinical guidance for carers and adopters on this difficult and concerning issue. It explores the links between early trauma and self-harm, how self-harming behaviour may manifest, and what it may tell us about children s underlying emotions and neurobiology. Also included is practical guidance on how parents and carers can address self-harm in the moment at which children are carrying out this behaviour.
