Some good self-injury related books:

  • "Secret Scars: Uncovering and Understanding the Addiction of Self-Injury" by V.J. Turner <--- really good read and informative
  • "Helping Teens Who Cut: Understanding and Ending Self-Injury" by Michael Hollander <--- good book for understanding others self injury
  • "The Scarred Soul: Understanding & Ending Self-Inflicted Violence" by Tracy Alderman <--- good book
  • "Freedom From Self-Harm: Overcoming Self-Injury with Skills from DBT and Other Treatments" by Kim L. Gratz and Alexander L. Chapman <-- haven't read it yet, but it looks good
  • "Cutting" by Steven Levenkron <-- My ALL-TIME favourite book on the subject of self-injury.
  • "Bloodletting: A Memoir of Secrets, Self-Harm and Survival" by Victoria Leatham <-- very scary read and hard in parts but really good
  • "Bodies under Siege: Self-mutilation And Body Modification in Culture and Psychiatry" by Armando R. Favazza <-- This is a more academic book.
