In reply to A new book on SI? And IVY league students cut too?, posted by orchid on June 9, 2006, at 12:33:20
I didnt catch this broadcast, but like Dinah said, there are several books out there on SI actually. They vary in how theyre presented, so it depends what kind of support/understanding you're looking for, but a few I have liked...
"Cutting" by Steven Levenkron (sorry, couldnt find the link on amazon)
"A Bright Red Scream" by Marilee Strong (I believe)
"Bodily Harm" by Karen Conterio
I also have seen "Women Who Hurt Themselves" by Dusty Miller but I havent read it.
There is also a memoir I read several years ago called "Skin Game" by Caroline Kettlewell on her experience with cutting. I wouldnt pick it up unless you're feeling safe though - it has a lot of potentially triggering material in it.
If you do hear what the other book was called, please let us know.. I'd love to check it out. As you might can tell, I read somewhat compulsively about all the "issues" I can relate to. :)
