A Bright Red Scream: Self-Mutilation and the Language of Pain
Printer-friendly versionThere are people who deliberately cut their skin, burn themselves, and break their own bones. They do it systematically for many years, and without help they can rarely stop. Many have lived through severe forms of emotional or physical childhood abues. The pain they feel is mute-- their only cry "a bright red scream."

For any victim
3 years () (Permalink)As opposed to other SI informational
books, this title steers away from
over-analyzing patients and puts an
emphasis on the stories of survivors
and those struggling with
self-multilation. I found myself
captivated by the experiences and
accounts of real people coping with a
real problem. There's also a nice
chapter defining the often misjudged
difference on tattoos, piercings and
other body modifications. Good book
overall. Warning, rather graphic at some
points.
