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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eBy interrogating the way in which healthcare and psychiatric systems shape our understanding of self-injury, \u003ci\u003eSelf-Injury, Medicine and Society\u003c\/i\u003e aims to re-invigorate traditional discourse on the subject.
