Review title: Off Base
Product review: Having read this book, I have to say that Mr. Levenkron has gotten some of his facts wrong. He makes self-injury into a form of psychosis, as opposed to the coping mechanism it is (even if it is maldaptive). He views it entirely as a sickness, and never seems to fully take into account why his clients use this form of coping.I find this book to be almost insulting as it invalidates all reasons a person might have for using such a painful coping mechanism, which at the same time causes an invalidation of the person. There are some excellent books on the market that address self-injury; this is definitely NOT one of them.
