I liked reading this book, but it was
mainly because I thought the author
seemed like a comforting guy to have as
a therapist. In fact, the book was a bit
like therapy for me.

Overall, it was about how the man cured
many patients. Probably a better read
for people around the SIers than SIers
themselves. (I think they were the
intended audience anyway.)

Also, it was very triggering. I had to
put the book down a lot, and cut because
of things it dragged up a few times.

I've read several books on the issue of
self-injury, and Levenkron's is the one
that most accurately and sincerely
describes the issue. It is not only a
useful overview to provide understanding
to those who are unfamiliar with SI, but
it is also insightful into the process
and motivation for many self injurers
who seek to understand their own
behavior better.

I would absolutely recommend this book
above any other on the market for an
introduction to self injury and how to
understand it.
