More About This Book

Overview

Discovering that your teen "cuts" is absolutely terrifying; before you understand what really motivates cutting, you may worry your child is contemplating suicide. What can you do to help when every attempt to address the behavior seems to push him or her further away? In this compassionate, straightforward book, Dr. Michael Hollander, a leading authority on self-injury, spells out the facts about cutting-and what to do to make it stop. You'll learn how overwhelming emotions lead some teens to hurt themselves, and how proven treatments-chief among them dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)-can help your child become well again. Helping Teens Who Cut demonstrates how to talk to your teen about cutting without making it worse, and explains exactly what to look for in a therapist or treatment program. Drawing on decades of clinical experience as well as the latest research, Dr. Hollander provides concrete ways to help your son or daughter cope with extreme emotions without resorting to self-injury. You'll also learn practical communication and problem-solving skills that can reduce family stress, making it easier to care for yourself and your teen during the recovery process.

About the Author:
Michael Hollander, PhD maintains a private practice in psychotherapy, conducts DBT with adolescents at McLean Hospital in Belmont, Massachusetts, and serves on the psychiatry teaching faculty of Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School

Editorial Reviews

Journal of the Canadian Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry

"This book is a good example of knowledge transfer from a clinical psychologist to parents of self-cutting and self-harming teens....Common myths are dispelled through case vignettes elucidating current evidence-based facts such as the difference between self-cutting and suicidal behaviors. The details of the case vignettes testify not only to the breadth of the author''s clinical experience but also to his empathic understanding of the parent''s predicament....Michael Hollander''s book fulfills several important goals. It explains the difficult psychological constructs relevant to parents'' understanding of the emotional dilemma of self-harming teenagers in a simple rather than simplistic way, and it guides parents with respect to choice of the best therapies and methods of cooperation with therapists. The book is, in fact, a therapeutic invention in itself, for it reduces the heavy burden of guilt and the fears of parents of self-harming teenagers. The appendix includes evidence for the effectiveness of DBT in adolescents, a list of internet sites and a list of clinical programs in the United States. This book is recommended for parents, teachers, and child and youth workers."--Journal of the Canadian Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry

    Fundamentally changed my understanding

    Well presented and very compassionate look at cutting from the child's and parents' points of view. I gained understanding to validate my child's point of view, and techniques to manage my own fear and concern. This book made a real difference for me. If you find yourself caught between the anger, fear and frustration of having a child who cuts, I'd highly recommend this book.
