As one who has struggled with the problem of cutting, I have found this book to be an excellent resource. It's clear, to the point, empathetic, and creative, guiding hands to shape other ways of coping with stress and pain, other than cutting. Creative alternatives (which both distract the hands from cutting and the mind from spiraling into despair, while at the same time encouraging a deeper look into one's problem and the discovery of coping methods/solutions) include clay and writing exercises, providing a myriad of courses away from cutting, even in the midst of urgent feelings of the "need to cut." Wonderful book, helpful practically as well as empathetically... I would definitely reccommend it.

I was very disappointed when I received this book. This book has activities that would be appropriate for preteen adolescents or children. When I read the title and it had "helping young people who self-injure" in the description, I thought it would be geared more toward adolescents... not children and preteen- I guess that was my mistake. Most activities are too juvenile to be used for adolescents over the age of 13. If you are working with younger adolescents/children you would probably be happy with the activities.

This activity book was a great resource! I used it for a group processing course and was able to get some awesome handouts that you are able to reproduce. Completely recommend this activity book.
