Yet estimates are that upwards of eight million Americans are chronic self-injurers. They are people who use knives, razor blades, or broken glass to cut themselves. Their numbers include the actor Johnny Depp, \u003ci\u003eGirl Interrupted\u003c\/i\u003e author Susanna Kaysen, and the late Princess Diana. Mistakenly viewed as suicide attempts or senseless masochism—even by many health  professionals—\"cutting\" is actually a complex means of coping with emotional pain. Marilee Strong explores this hidden epidemic through case studies, startling new research from psychologists, trauma experts, and neuroscientists, and the heartbreaking insights of cutters themselves--who range from troubled teenagers to middle-age professionals to grandparents. Strong explains what factors lead to self-mutilation, why cutting helps people manage overwhelming fear and anxiety, and how cutters can heal both their internal and external wounds and break the self-destructive cycle. \u003ci\u003eA Bright Red Scream\u003c\/i\u003e is a groundbreaking, essential resource for victims of self-mutilation, their families, teachers, doctors, and therapists.","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"STANDARD","offer_id":62230406726019,"sku":"9780140280531","price":27.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/8456\/3587\/files\/9780140280531_59d20c47-cc51-481e-9e0c-b86c7170d071.jpg?v=1785345291","url":"https:\/\/shopcomics.eu\/products\/a-bright-red-scream-9780140280531","provider":"Shop Comics EU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
