Self-help books on deliberate self-harm

At the site of the National Self-harm Network (http://www.nshn.co.uk) there is an abundance of advice and information, checklists to guide treatment, and an attempt to debunk some of the myths surrounding deliberate self-harm: ‘it's attention-seeking’, ‘they're manipulative’, ‘it's self-inflicted and so it's not serious’, ‘they enjoy pain’. [...]although they are not strictly self-help books, two accounts are required reading for everyone involved with a person who inflicts deliberate self-harm. The second is an account by a young and innocent psychiatrist (Walker, 2003) about his whirlwind relationship and marriage to a self-destructive patient with borderline personality disorder, whom he met as a medical student when assessing her after an episode of self-harm.
