Long considered a suicidal gesture, The Tender Cut argues instead that self-injury is often a coping mechanism, a form of teenage angst, an expression of group membership, and a type of rebellion, converting unbearable emotional pain into manageable physical pain. Based on the largest, qualitative, non-clinical population of self-injurers ever gathered, noted ethnographers Patricia and Peter Adler draw on 150 interviews with self-injurers from all over the world, along with 30,000-40,000 internet posts in chat rooms and communiqués. Their 10-year longitudinal research follows the practice of self-injury from its early days when people engaged in it alone and did not know others, to the present, where a subculture has formed via cyberspace that shares similar norms, values, lore, vocabulary, and interests. An important portrait of a troubling behavior, The Tender Cut illuminates the meaning of self-injury in the 21st century, its effects on current and former users, and its future as a practice for self-discovery or a cry for help. 606 $aStress, Psychological$xpsychology 606 $aSocial Isolation$xpsychology 606 $aSocial Environment 606 $aAdaptation, Psychological 606 $aSelf-Injurious Behavior$xpsychology 606 $aStress (Psychology) 606 $aSocial isolation 606 $aAdaptability (Psychology) 606 $aSelf-injurious behavior 615 22$aStress, Psychological$xpsychology. 615 22$aSocial Isolation$xpsychology. 615 22$aSocial Environment. 615 22$aAdaptation, Psychological. 615 12$aSelf-Injurious Behavior$xpsychology. 615 0$aStress (Psychology) 615 0$aSocial isolation. 615 0$aAdaptability (Psychology) 615 0$aSelf-injurious behavior. 676 $a362.1968582 700 $aAdler$b Patricia A.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0618312 702 $aAdler$b Peter$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813275603321 996 $aThe Tender Cut$93993654 997 $aUNINA
