Interview with Anna Motz
In this interview we talk to Anna Motz, author of Managing Self-Harm.
This book explores the meaning and impact of self-harm, and the sense in which it is a language of the body. It is designed to help clinicians, people who self-harm and their families and carers to understand its causes, meaning and treatment.
Managing Self-Harm, published by Routledge, will be essential reading for all mental health professionals, including clinical psychologists, psychotherapists, psychiatrists, psychiatric nurses and social workers.
