Summary:
"Before discussing the central framing guiding this book (see Chapter 3), it is first important to provide foundational knowledge about self-injury. Accordingly, this chapter addresses key areas within the field of self-injury, including how self-injury is defined, who self-injures, what might contribute to self-injury engagement, the reasons people may have for self-injury, and the risks associated with engaging in self-injury. In Chapter 2, we build on this by discussing the link between self-injury and suicide. Collectively, these two chapters provide the groundwork from which to understand and apply the person-centred, strengths-based framework woven throughout the remainder of the book"-- Provided by publisher.
