Editorial Reviews
Review
"An invaluable resource for parents!"--Marsha M. Linehan, PhD, ABPP, Professor and Director Emeritus, Behavioral Research and Therapy Clinics, University of Washington; developer of DBT
"This book provides the clearest, most helpful explanation I have ever seen of why teens engage in self-injury--and how parents can help them stop. A 'must read' for parents of teens who cut."--Matthew K. Nock, PhD, Department of Psychology, Harvard University
"Dr. Hollander's compassion and knowledge stem from years of experience with families. In addition to his lucid explanation of DBT principles, I value his wise suggestions for helping siblings, extended family, friends, and school personnel deal with a teen's self-injury. I recommend this book first to parents struggling to help self-injuring children."--Barent W. Walsh, PhD, Executive Director, The Bridge of Central Massachusetts
"Dr. Hollander is wise and empathic. In the second edition of his essential book, he provides hopeful, practical treatment recommendations based on the latest science. He gives parents the gift of his insight into a complex and ever-increasing problem."--Blaise Aguirre, MD, author of Borderline Personality Disorder in Adolescents, Second Edition: What to Do When Your Teen Has BPD
"The rush of emotions and the thoughts that run through your head when you discover that your child self-harms are beyond overwhelming. Dr. Hollander’s book provides an instant blanket of relief--you are not alone, and help is attainable. With unparalleled expertise in DBT, he gives you easy-to-understand strategies that enable you to start helping your child immediately. Dr. Hollander's approach has been instrumental in changing our child’s path in life."--Lisa L., Belmont, Massachusetts
"A reassuring, well-written resource for parents seeking answers, information, and help for a child who self-injures through cutting. While parents of teens who cut is the intended audience, teachers, health-care practitioners, and parents of teens in general may also benefit from the information and sound advice Hollander presents....Hollander offers practical advice to help parents better understand and communicate more effectively with their child. He clearly explains what is known about cutting behavior, addresses its causes, and identifies effective treatment options." (on the first edition) ― Library Journal Published On: 2008-11-03

- Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2017Extremely helpful in navigating the complex world of mental health and gaining an understanding of how we should connect to each other. Emotions help us and are valuable, yet at times they complicate how we see truth and prevent logic from reaching through the fog. Learning ways to combat these issues was incredibly insightful.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2018Essential book in understanding the problem as well as meaningful ways to help teens. This could easily be applied to any age given the nature of the problem itself. Excellent book! Well written and informative.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2021Informative book -- but the title leaves something to be desired. After all, there are many more types of self-harm than just cutting.

Cons: Title

5.0 out of 5 stars Important read for parents
If you are a parent of a child who engages in self harm OR suffers from intense emotions and emotional pain or distress, this is an absolute must to read. It is great to read for parents who suffer from intense emotions and don’t know how to self-regulate, and for parents who just don’t understand and want to understand.
