Reviews

From the reviews: This is an excellent, thorough analysis of nonsuicidal self injury and eating disorders. ... overall it is a really nice piece of work. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in eating disorders or self injury, but especially to anyone who deals with patients with both illnesses. (Brett C. Plyler, Doody's Book Reviews, March, 2014)
