The Scarred Soul, Tracy Alderman
This step-by-step guide is designed to help victims of self-inflicted
violence understand why they feel the need to hurt themselves and to
take steps to change their behaviour. Most victims tend to be teenage
girls or women in their twenties. To hurt themselves is sometimes a
way of focusing and controlling overwhelming feelings of chaos. For
others, it frees them from the numbness that defends them from the
pain of previous abuse.

Skin Game, Caroline Kettlewell
As a young girl - smart, creative, well loved by her family -
Caroline Kettlewell made a terrible discovery: The only way to

began cutting her arms and legs in fifth grade, and continued
into her twenties. Why would an intelligent young woman resort
to such extreme measures? The first former cutter to tell her own
story about living with and overcoming the disorder, Caroline
Kettlewell has written an unforgettably poignant and shocking memoir
of affliction and survival.
