The Tender Cut: Inside the Hidden World of Self-Injury
Patricia A. Adler
Cutting, burning, branding, and bone-breaking are all types of self-injury, or the deliberate, non-suicidal destruction of one's own body tissue, a practice that emerged from obscurity in the 1990s and spread dramatically as a typical behavior among adolescents. This book presents a portrait of this troubling behavior.
