This book provides an appreciative sociological engagement with accounts of the embodied practice of self-injury. It shows that in order to understand self-injury it is necessary to engage with widely circulating narratives about the nature of bodies including that they are separate from yet containers of 'emotion'. Using a sociological approach the book examines what self-injury is how it functions and why someone might engage in it. It pays close attention to the corporeal aspects of self-injury attending to the complex ways in which 'lived experience' is narrated. By interrogating the way in which healthcare and psychiatric systems shape our understanding of self-injury Self-Injury Medicine and Society aims to re-invigorate traditional discourse on the subject. Combining analytical theory with real-life accounts this book provides an engaging study which is both thought-provoking and informative. It will appeal to an interdisciplinary readership and scholars in the fields of medical sociology and health studies in particular.
