{"product_id":"9781041021742","title":"Relating to Self-Harm and Suicide : Psychoanalytic Perspectives on Practice, Theory and Prevention by Stephen Briggs","description":"Relating to Self-Harm and Suicide presents original studies and research from contemporary psychoanalysts, psychotherapists and academics focusing on the psychoanalytic understanding of suicide and self-harm and how this can be applied to clinical work and policy. This book suggests that suicide and self-harm must be understood as having meaning within interpersonal and intrapsychic relationships, offering a new and more hopeful approach to prevention and recovery. Divided into three sections, this revised edition includes a theoretical overview and conceptual framework, psychoanalytic practice with self-harming and suicidal patients and applications of psychoanalytic thinking to suicide and self-harm prevention. Enriched with detailed examples illustrating this approach in a range of settings and with different groups and populations, this book offers an international perspective and contemporary understanding of psychoanalytic approaches to working with suicidal and self-harming people. This book will be helpful to psychoanalytic psychotherapists, psychoanalysts and other mental health professionals wanting to integrate psychoanalytic ideas into their work with self-harming and suicidal people. It will also be useful to academics, teachers, researchers and policymakers involved in suicide prevention.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56368526950773,"sku":"9781041021742","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781041021742.jpg?v=1773826137","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781041021742","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
