Responses to Self Harm: An Historical Analysis of Medical, Religious, Military and Psychological Perspectives
Leigh Dale
"Self harm is generally regarded as a modern epidemic, associated especially with young women. But references to self harm are found in the poetry of ancient Rome, the drama of ancient Greece and early Christian texts, including the Bible. Generations of lawmakers, military authorities, doctors and psychologists have analyzed self harm over the last 200 years"--
Marc Notes: This title provides a historical and conceptual roadmap for understanding self harm across a range of times and places: in modern high schools and in modern warfare;in traditional religious practices and in avant-garde performance art. Describing the diversity of self harm as well as responses to it, this book challenges the understanding of it as a single behaviour associated with a specific age group, gender or cultural identity.
