Maggie Turp

Hidden Self-Harm

Narratives from Psychotherapy

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The book takes a new look at self-harm, focusing particularly on the under-explored area of `hidden' self-harming behaviour. These behaviours may not be immediately identifiable as self-harm by counsellors, therapists or their clients, but Turp shows how recognition and understanding of hidden self-harm can improve practice with those affected.
