Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is the deliberate harming of one's
body without suicidal intent. NSSI tends to be secretive, often
involving cutting, bruising, or burning on hidden parts of the
body. While NSSI often occurs among adolescents, it is not limited
to that age group. Communication and NSSI intersect in many ways,
including conversation among family members, consultation with
healthcare providers, representation in the media, discourse among
people who self-injure, and even communication with oneself. Each
chapter in Communicating With, About, and Through Self-Harm:
Scarred Discourse addresses a different context of communication
crucial to our understanding NSSI. An international group of
clinicians and communication specialists describe, analyze, and
explain how NSSI is communicated about, what NSSI is communicating,
and how can we do a better job in communicating with others about
NSSI. This book's fundamental purpose is to empower individuals who
self-injure as well as their families, friends, healthcare
providers, and communities to better understand and deal with NSSI
and the pressures that cause it.
Even as the major superhero film franchises appear to be exhausting
their runs The Umbrella Academy demonstrates that the superhero
genre is still extremely effective at creating role models with
lasting psychological resonance and allegories with extraordinary
emotional impact. These essays give a voice to the misunderstood
family members of The Umbrella Academy in the comic book series and
its highly popular Netflix adaptation. They explore different
forces like individualism, identity, family, and feminism. One of
the most striking features that unites these concepts is the
linkage between violence with voice, as well as violence's
aestheticized depiction.
