NSSI tends to be secretive, often involving cutting, bruising, or burning on hidden parts of the body. While NSSI often occurs among adolescents, it is not limited to that age group. Communication and NSSI intersect in many ways, including conversation among family members, consultation with healthcare providers, representation in the media, discourse among people who self-injure, and even communication with oneself. Each chapter in Communicating With, About, and Through Self-Harm: Scarred Discourse addresses a different context of communication crucial to our understanding NSSI. An international group of clinicians and communication specialists describe, analyze, and explain how NSSI is communicated about, what NSSI is communicating, and how can we do a better job in communicating with others about NSSI. This book's fundamental purpose is to empower individuals who self-injure as well \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Is self-injury a form of communication? What message, if any, can be communicated through the act? Tackling these intricate questions, this impressive volume reveals how the experience of self-injury is communicated via scars, journals, media and clinical discourse, wherein the wounded bodies become the nexus of meaning, relationship, and control. Lively and sophisticated, this is a must read for those interested in communicative dimensions of self-injury.\"\u003c\/p\u003e -- Yukari Seko, Ryerson University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrologue\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Non-Suicidal Self-Injury: Communicating in Chaos\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarta Carvalhal, LISW-CP and Nicole S.
