These concepts will be helpful to clinicians, who often spend much of their time dealing with these troubling behaviorsĂ–.This book is well worth the price and the reader will not be disappointed." Score: 94, 4 stars

"Ross Ellenhorn brings a fresh, new look at what has been called parasuicidality. Rather seeing it solely as a medicalized symptom of mental disorder, he incisively shows how threats of suicide emerge from the social context and can be better understood and treated within a framework of social relationships. This well documented and clearly written book is must reading for anyone interested in better understanding and dealing with parasuicidality. "

"This book deals with the issue of parasuicidality using a dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) approach, but posits that clinical interactions aid and abet that specific behavior. It presents both theoretical and pragmatic ideas of how to deal wi th patients who often pose the greatest challenge to clinicians. " Gary B Kaniuk, Psy.D. (Cermak Health Services)
