Bodies Under SiegeArmando R. Favazza This work analyzes the complex issues surrounding self-mutilation, drawing on case studies from clinical psychiatry and cultural anthropology to show that the phenomenon is deeply embedded culturally, and far more common than is often thought. |

A Bright Red ScreamMarilee Strong I (Marilee) wrote this book to provide both hope and help to people who self-injure. No one need suffer in silence, believing that they are alone in their pain. There are ways to heal both the internal and external wounds. I am grateful to the fifty-plus self-injurers from across the U.S. (and in the U.K., Canada, and Australia) who so bravely shared their stories with me and a like number of researchers and experts who treat self-injury whose insights helped me understand this very complex phenomenon. |

The Scarred SoulTracy Alderman This step-by-step guide is designed to help victims of self-inflicted violence understand why they feel the need to hurt themselves and to take steps to change their behaviour. Most victims tend to be teenage girls or women in their twenties. To hurt themselves is sometimes a way of focusing and controlling overwhelming feelings of chaos. For others, it frees them from the numbness that defends them from the pain of previous abuse. |

The Skin GameCaroline Kettlewell I couldn't stop reading this amazing story of self-mutilation. While her public life proceeds along conventional lines, Caroline Kettlewell's private existence is anything but placid. The contrast between the two results in a memoir of hypnotic intensity - reminiscent at times of a book Kettlewell mentions that she has read three times, Sylvia Plath's 'The Bell Jar'. Thanks to Kettlewell's uncanny ability to observe herself, 'Skin Game' also offers insights of uncommon penetration and humor. |

And they don't talk about why they do it. Soon nancy realizes that she and Katie need cutting to get through the day. Nancy can cover the scars on her arms and legs. It's the others, the ones inside, that are becoming hard to hide. |

CutPatricia McCormick
This book was awesome. It captured the thoughts of a cutter perfectly.
I'm not a cutter myself, but I know people who are, and I've read
things that cutters have written, and this was pretty much acurate
from what I've gathered. Just the way the story carries along, how she
explains things- it seems realistic. You feel with Callie about her
problems as a cutter- and how she feels about things. I'm not going to
explain the book because thats already done, but just understand, this
book is a deffinite must read. It's just great. |
