| Description | There 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." |

A Bright Red Scream
pretty good...helps you understand why people hurt themselves and that it is not always for attention.

For any victim
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.
