520    "Making Sense of Self-Harm provides an alternative 
       examination of nonsuicidal self-injury. In contrast to 
       more common psychiatric or psychological analyses this 
       book uses Cultural Sociology and the conceptual insights 
       of Michel Foucault, Norbert Elias and Ludwig Wittgenstein 
       to map the hidden meanings of self-harm and reveal it more
       as a kind of practice than an illness; a powerful cultural
       idiom of personal distress and social estrangement that is
       peculiarly resonant with the symbolic life of late-modern 
       society. The book explores various texts that talk about 
       self-harm and which have helped shape it as a social 
       phenomenon, from medical discourses to popular media, and 
       further traces its meanings through a number of in-depth 
       interviews with people who self-harm, ultimately grounding
       an understanding of self-harm in our prevalent 
       psychological and consumer cultures and coming to make 
       sense of a phenomenon that so many have found profoundly 
       disturbed and disturbing."--|cProvided by publisher.
