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. 588 0 Print version record. 650 0 Self-injurious behavior. 650 0 Cultural psychiatry. 650 0 Social psychiatry. 650 7 HEALTH & FITNESS|xDiseases|xGeneral.|2bisacsh 650 7 MEDICAL|xClinical Medicine.|2bisacsh 650 7 MEDICAL|xDiseases.|2bisacsh 650 7 MEDICAL|xEvidence-Based Medicine.|2bisacsh 650 7 MEDICAL|xInternal Medicine.|2bisacsh 650 7 Social & cultural anthropology.|2bicssc 650 7 Abnormal psychology.|2bicssc 650 7 Cultural psychiatry.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00885048 650 7 Self-injurious behavior.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01111767 650 7 Social psychiatry.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01122811 776 08 |iPrint version:|aSteggals, Peter, 1975-|tMaking sense of self-harm|z9781137470584|w(DLC) 2015021823 |w(OCoLC)910090999 994 C0|bSTJ
