Discovering that your teen "cuts" is every parent’s nightmare. Your most urgent question is: "How can I make it stop?"

You will learn practical strategies for talking to teens about self-injury without making it worse, teaching them skills to cope with extreme emotions in a healthier way, finding the right therapist, and helping reduce stress for your whole family.

Incorporating the latest research, this second edition offers a deeper understanding of the causes of self-injury and includes new DBT skills.
