Self-Harm
$15.95
Nothing is quite as perplexing as the phenomena of self-mutilative or self-harming behaviors. Dr. Coyle offers hope and direction through a review of typical causes and solutions to self-damaging or overwhelming personal experiences. The "Self-Harm" presentation was developed to carefully and systematically lead individuals that may be suffering from current self-mutilative behaviors through a set of considerations about their self-harm so they might be empowered to change those behaviors. This presentation is separate from, but clearly adjunctive to the Self-Esteem and Goal Setting Track (sold separately). Many of the foundations for healing and dealing with self-harm can be additionally found in that track.THE PRESENTER:

Bodily Harm: The Breakthrough Healing Program For Self-Injurers
$16.99
Though this book introduced me to the topic of clinical work with self-injury, I am glad there have been many other authors who have explored this behavior, its meanings, and how to treat it. The SAFE program belittles and dehumanizes its participants, insisting that they immediately give up all SI-related behavior cold turkey, forbidding them any replacement activities (drawing marks on one's arm with a pen, for example, rather than making marks with a razor blade), and kicking them out of its (expensive, residential) program for the slightest infraction. Trip over your own feet in the hall? If staff decides you are "manipulating" and injuring, boom, you're gone.

Clinicians who work with a variety of maladaptive behaviors - SI, substance use, compulsive gambling, cognitive-behavioral problems, OCD - know that going "cold turkey" is often not realistic. Before you take away someone's "crutch," you have to find a less-harmful replacement until the client learns new ways of coping. Self-help approaches like those suggested on the Secret Shame website document the value of a harm-reduction-based strategy that temporarily redirects SI impulses into safer behaviors while healing takes place. Extensive reearch into harm reduction and use of motivational interviewing and the stages of change model has shown that relapse is part of the recovery process, a normal stage along the way to getting free of harmful behaviors, and should rarely be grounds for termination of therapy.

The authors' approach denies the addictive qualities of SI behavior, something clinicians who work with SI in the general population can see for ourselves. In fact, there is no single motivation for SI, no one meaning it has for clients, and thus there can be no one treatment. Treating self-injuring clients like manipulative children condescends to them, minimizes their pain and rage, and does them a disservice. For a better, less judgmental look at the many motivations behind SI, try "A Bright Red Scream" or "Bodies Under Siege."
