Treating Self-Injury, Second Edition: A Practical Guide PDF

NOTE: I received a free copy of this book to review for the web site Metapsychology Online Reviews; you can read a more complete version of my review on that site.

This book is author Barent Walsh's follow-up to his comprehensive guide first released in 2006. In his Preface to the new edition, Walsh notes that this version includes eight new chapters, covering topics ranging from formal assessment to multiple self-harm behaviors. Walsh also talks about how this latest volume is structured around a stepped care model, meaning matching the specific treatment intervention to the individual client ("stepping up" or increasing the treatment as necessary). Finally, the author mentions that all chapters from the prior edition have been updated.

As with the first edition, Walsh has divided this volume into three parts, but these sections now have greater specificity, especially Part II, titled Assessments and Treatment: A Stepped-Care Model. Part II is further sub-divided into Treatment Steps 1 through 4. As noted above, these include the less intensive interventions, from simple assessment and management of self-injury, to more significant care--for example, residential treatment for adolescents and managing multiple self-harm behaviors. More moderate interventions include replacement skills and cognitive treatment, and new chapters cover family therapy, pharmacological options, and complications related to PTSD and/or body image issues.

The final section (Part III) addresses Specialized Topics. Incorporated here are new entries on the "choking game," foreign body ingestion, and self-injury in correctional settings. Walsh has also included an extremely helpful Appendices segment.
