Self harm books
 

I'm looking for a good book on self harm that is geared for recovery and not too full of indepth phsyc stuff. Practical stuff like. So I can be more aware of the lead up and manage to distract myself etc. But without the hard head stuff.

Any ideas or reccomendations?

bright red scream by marilee strong is supposed to be quite good, ive read extracts of it online :
Written by a US journalist, this book is based on a series of interviews with people aged 15-53 who describe in detail how and why they self-harm. The theory behind people’s behaviour is clearly explained without using a lot of technical jargon.

I also say A Bright Red Scream and also The Scarred Soul-Understanding and Ending Self Inflicted Violence by Tracy Alderman

Life after self harm [I don't know the author as I can't locate it on my shelves right now...]

From victim to victor is one i'm working on at the minute. I'm not sure who the author is.
Bits of it are indepth but I havent seen the whole book yet lol

there is a book that i have read some of but not all of it, it is about someone who cuts and her like story and all.

its called a skin game i think.

yeah it is skin game by Caroline Kettlewell.

not sure if it will be what you want but she does talk about her recovery (i think) or i would imagine so.

i haven't read the whole thing, but what i read was pretty good.

i just don't read very much. ha

as SI541 said skin game is a good book im working on that one atm and its good so far also bloodletting by victoria leatham is a good one to read

the luckiest girl in the world

thats brilliant

A Bright Red Scream my Marilee Strong is pretty good (I'm still reading it), and I heard good things about the book Cutting, which is geared more towards recovery.
