<br/><br/>Includes bibliographical references and index. 
<br/><br/> Grounded in a wellness, strengths-based, and developmental perspective, this is a guide for counsellors and other clinicians seeking to understand self-injurious behaviours without pathologising them. The book covers topics not previously discussed in other works, including working with families, supervising counsellors working with clients who self-injure, DSM-5 criteria regarding the NSSI diagnosis, NSSI as a protective factor for preventing suicidal behaviour, and advocacy efforts around NSSI. In each chapter clinicians will also find concrete tools, including questions to ask, psychoeducational handouts for clients and their families, treatment handouts or treatment plans for counsellors, and more.
