Psyche on the Skin by Sarah Chaney
Psyche on the Skin challenges the misconceptions and controversies surrounding self-harm.
'A valuable contribution'-TLS, 'The skill of this book is that it understands self-harm so broadly, sweeping within its remit a range of other forms of injury, including bloodletting, castration and flagellation . . . The impressively amassed sources and the sensitivity behind it suggest that there is more to discover and understand in the history of self-harm.'-Times Higher Education, 'Eloquent, awe-inspiring, and sassy. This book will captivate anyone curious about the body and pain.'-Joanna Bourke, 'A remarkable account from the pen of a young and brilliant scholar of the history and meaning of self-harm. Insightful and immensely readable.'-Sander L. Gilman
