Based on a British survey of 6,000 students about self-harm thoughts, behavior, and help-seeking, Hawton (psychiatry, Centre for Suicide Research, U. of Oxford) and Rodham (a psychologist conducting research at the Centre) offer a comparative overview of the extent of the problem in this population globally; personal accounts; advice to at-risk youth, families, and professionals (including the benefits and risks of Internet support); and methodological notes. Resources include reproducible school guidelines, sample of a letter to parents, a self-concept scale, and UK and US information sources. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
