Press reviews for: Responding to Self-Harm in Children and Adolescents
Play for Life
This book suggests theoretical ideas and offers useful guidance that the author hopes will support those working with children who self-harm and ultimately lead to informed, reflective and confident practice... Students and qualified practitioners interested in self-harm or working in this area would benefit from reading this very concise and up to date guide.
Young Minds Magazine
(...) a very refreshing read into how providing good guidance for professionals on self-harm can result in more positive outcomes for young people... This is a research-rich resource which all professionals will benefit from.
BFK Books
This book is targeted at professionals who may encounter, or work with, children and adolescents at risk of self-harming. Walker is an expert in child and adolescent mental health and as a social worker and psychotherapist has had many years of hands on experience... I would not hesitate to recommend this book as it has a lot of useful points and challenges the political system, daring to jump off the fence.
Journal of Public Mental Health
This is a surprising monograph, from an "academic" author whose past work on professional development in child and adolescent mental health is admired by many... Responding to Self-Harm in Children and Adolescents is a very personal cri de Coeur by the author, for practitioners across the community to grasp the magnitude of these problems and to take the needs of self-harming young people seriously... perhaps every Head teacher should buy a copy, because statistically they will all have a number of pupils who self-harm?
Asteens
