Now in its third edition, this invaluable work is updated throughout with findings from hundreds of new studies, discussions of new models of self-injury, an assessment of the S.A.F.E. (Self Abuse Finally Ends) program, and the Bill of Rights for People Who Self-harm. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArmando Favazza's pioneering work identified a wide range of forces, many of them cultural and societal, that compel or impel people to mutilate themselves. This new edition examines the explosive growth in the incidence of self-injurious behaviors and body modification practices. Favazza critically assesses new and significant biological, ethnological, social, and psychological findings regarding self-injury; presents current understandings of self-injurious acts from cultural and clinical perspectives; and places self-mutilation in historical and contemporary context.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Johns Hopkins University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45608224391319,"sku":"9780801899669","price":3515.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780801899669.webp?v=1769293991","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/bodies-under-siege-9780801899669","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
