Alive and Cutting takes you into the world of self-harming
behaviour. Katie had a difficult childhood. Neglected and alone she
spent much of her time consoling herself as best she could with her
doll and teddy bear. Taken into care and fostered, she was then
bullied at school. Later in childhood she learned to fight back.
Now, aged nineteen, Katie is depressed, binge-drinks and regularly
cuts herself, in part to find release from emotional build up, but
also to cut her way out of depression and despair. Katie has
referred herself for couselling where she sees Keith, a Youth
Counsellor. The therapy process unfolds with dramatic memories
emerging and being lived out in the therapy room. Katie's cutting
becomes more damaging as she connects more deeply with her past.
You will find yourself, like Keith, a companion on Katie's journey
as she tries to make sense of her past and her present. You will
gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of the emotional and
psychological landscape of self-harm. Alive and Cutting is the
second in a series of titles being written by the author to address
a range of contemporary issues in a therapeutic context.
