Flesh Wounds : New Ways Of Understanding Self-Injury

Kay Inckle

4.9/5 (9901 ratings)

Description:This is a book of stories about self-injury. 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 to self-injury 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. Experiences of self-injury from service-users and service providers - as well as people who were both and neither - are retold through fictionalised characters. Using fictional characters and creative writing strategies protects the anonymity of all of those involved but at the same time allows an in-depth representation of the 'real-life' inner-worlds, emotions and experiences of the protagonists. The 'moral' of the tales in this book point towards the need for a holistic and person-centred understanding of self-injury and one which focuses on harm-reduction rather than prevention. The stories challenge the stigmatising view of self-injury as something 'mad' or 'bad' to be prevented at all costs. They 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. The book also contains three factual appendices to provide more direct information to the reader: the harm-reduction appendix, the methodological appendix and the resources appendix. There is also a bibliography of readings which includes a vast range of self-injury and harm-reduction related publications which are touched on in the stories.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
