Review
Compelling reading about the psychology of self-harm, 'A Bright Red Scream (demystifies forms of behaviour, where an individual is compelled to cut and injure themselves. . . The disturbing material in this book is sensitively handled')
BIG ISSUE ('Strong's book ought to leap on to the reading list of anyone involved in pastoral work with adolescents. Those bright red screams want to be heard')
TES ('An important addition to psychological literature')
PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY ('This beautifully written, sensitively told account of people who mutilate themselves is filled with riveting stories that will haunt a reader long after the last page has been turned. Every person who has ever taken a razor to her body, along with the p)
From the Author
Based on over 5 yrs of research & interviews:
I wrote this book to provide both hope and help to people who self-injure. No one need suffer in silence, believing that they are alone in their pain. There are ways to heal both the internal and external wounds. I am grateful to the fifty-plus self-injurers from across the U.S. (and in the U.K., Canada, and Australia) who so bravely shared their stories with me and a like number of researchers and experts who treat self-injury whose insights helped me understand this very complex phenomenon.

A Bright Red Scream
Seller: World of Books Inc, Montgomery, IL, U.S.A.
Seller rating 2 out of 5 stars
Hardback. Condition: Good. Meet Daphne, age sixteen. There are times when she hurts so bad, too deep for tears, that she must shed her own blood to let out some of the hurt. There's Annie, a woman who stopped injuring herself years ago but admits that she would cut again because she loves her scars too much, loves the control they give her over her own body. And Lukas, a forty-three-year old lawyer, describes the powerful, soothing rush he gets from his self-induced wounds: The feeling I get when the blood comes out is better than anything. It's better than drinking, it's better than any drug I've ever taken, it's better than sex.Why do some people need to inflict pain on themselves? At least two million Americans, and millions more worldwide, are cutters -- notably, the late Princess Diana. Yet, the reasons behind the need to self-mutilate are profoundly complex and largely misunderstood. Marilee Strong shatters the stereotypes and dispels the myths surrounding the phenomenon of self-mutilation and gets to the heart of the matter by way of her subjects. The voices of cutters themselves, combined with Strong's own astute observations, make for an unparalleled exploration of the disorder that has been called the addiction of the nineties.
