Flesh wounds?: new ways of understanding self-injury
Abstract
"Flesh wounds? is a book of research-based stories about self-injury (sometimes called self-harm). It explores the meaning and purpose of self-injury in an individual's life, the experiences that might lead to self-injury, and which approaches and responses by health and social services are helpful and which are not. It is intended to be a resource for people who hurt themselves and for those who live and work with them. [Fictionalised but drawn from real life] these stories challenge the stigmatising view of self-injury as something 'mad' or 'bad', to be prevented at all costs. They also highlight the importance of understanding the complexity of each individual and their relationship with self-injury, alongside practices which offer acceptance and support across the breadth and depth of someone's needs." -- Back cover
