Book Review-By Their Own Young Hand: Deliberate Self-Harm and Suicidal Ideas in Adolescents by K Hawton, K Rodham, & E Evans

The reviewer found the strengths of this book “lie in the community focus & in the strong emphasis on prevention”. However, the reviewer also had concerns about the lack of detail in the discussion of some topics, for example clinical interventions. Nevertheless, the reviewer feels the book meets its stated purpose & provides user friendly information, guidelines, fact sheets, a contact list, & an extensive bibliography as well as recommendations for clinical practice & research.
