Riassunto

This book discusses ways in which services can change the focus from managing or 'stopping' self harm to working with young people in more permissive, 'young person centred' ways. Although the need for such a change is increasingly being recognised, the practical implications and ethical dilemmas have rarely been explored. This book addresses this gap by providing in-depth descriptions of a range of innovative practices.
