Customer Rating: Summary: Women and Self-Harm Comment: I found it pretty informative, and it had many relating factors to my life. I especially enjoyed the comments from actual cutters. It was so good to know that I wasn't the only one out there!! For years I thought that I was. This book was a comfort as well as a healing for me, thank you. Customer Rating: Summary: Dull book- full of other people's information Comment: Of all the books on self injury, this is one of the least informative. I am still not sure why this book was printed. No list of resources - no real hope - I am more depressed than ever
