helping teens who cut by Michael Hollander

My god my god where did such behavior ever come from? Hollander shares 20 years of experience helping over emotional teens and their parents learn alternative strategies to short circuit cutting episodes. Through adaptive case studies he demonstrates who the teens are that cut themselves and why these teens cut. In my reading he demonstrates that emotional sensitive teens unable to manage a stressful situation resort to self harming to release the tension. Parents seeking to help their children in such situations often unintentionally exacerbate the event through misplaced intervention.
Hollander strategies with such parents to help them learn how to assist their child to break the cutting cycle.
A sad read, but it's a real world out there. Where is christianity in all of this? How we so removed ourselves from the society in which we live that we cannot see the need?

Rabbi, miss the blogs... the conversation seems stagnated under all the busying stuff of life.
Still have that thing I wrote you about this kind of issue last year?
Where indeed is Christianity. Jesus' arms bear all these scars and He didnt hide them.

Dr. I would love to see a public conversation about the "Christian" vs. Christian response to this issue. The problem is, it's embarassing and stressful for the ones who struggle to hear people talk about it at all. In fact, among my own aquaintances and experiences, hearing about it at all often triggers an episode.

What led you to read this book?

My wife is a school counselor and she deals with kids who cut more and more often. It's a sad thing, but it is about control and how the kids feel out of control of their entire life. Until we find a way to fix the emotion the action won't change.

I'd be curious about an in-depth analysis of the emo phenomena, which is partly to blame for teens cutting their wrists. Any ideas as to where I might find this?

Christianity has nothing to do about this emotional distress things. This issue still relies on the parent and child relationship. Having a strong relationship with your love ones is an important thing.
