Critics Review
“I highly recommend this book for all teachers and parents to read. I have been teaching for more than thirty years and cutting is one of the biggest problems among teens. I’ve seen many of my students struggle with this disorder. The problem is I haven’t found a reliable form of therapy for this disorder. Luckily, this book will help. It is based on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills, and provides solutions and easy-to-follow strategies for those with self-harming tendencies.“—Jackson Yee, MA, middle school teacher * Jackson Yee, MA, middle school teacher *
