«Cutting: Understanding and Overcoming Self-Mutilation» is Steven Levenkron's essay on self-mutilation, in paperback (269 pages, in English).
Levenkron analyzes self-mutilation as a comprehensible and treatable disorder, not an inexplicable act. Using cases from his practice, he traces predisposing factors —genetics, childhood trauma and parental behavior— and explains why physical pain serves to relieve emotional pain, with resources and guidance for sufferers, families and therapists.
Revised and updated edition, with a new introduction and epilogue. Levenkron is also the author of 'Treating and Overcoming Anorexia Nervosa' and the novel 'The Best Little Girl in the World'.
Aimed at those affected by self-mutilation, their families and friends, and at therapists and readers of psychology and mental health.
Steven Levenkron is an American psychotherapist and writer known for his research into anorexia nervosa and self-injury. He lives in New York, where his practice is based.
