Customer Reviews

Easy to read

This was a great book! There is little information about self-mutilation out there. Most of everything you read is either speculation or repetitive. When you are able to find information often times it is difficult to understand. This book makes it easy and it has a nice format so it is easy to research specific things. I recommend this book for anyone who is affected by self-mutilation because it helps you to realize you aren't alone and it seperates myth from truth in an easy to read and "user friendly" format. I hope you enjoy it!
