Making Sense of Self-harm: The Cultural Meaning and Social Context of Nonsuicidal Self-injury


Add your own review!

Overview

Making Sense of Self-Harm provides an alternative approach to understanding nonsuicidal self-injury; using Cultural Sociology to analyse it more as a practice than an illness and exploring it as a powerful cultural idiom of personal distress and social estrangement that is peculiarly resonant with the symbolic life of late-modern society.
