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.

Global communication can be difficult in the best of circumstances.
The contributors in this book take seriously the premise that one
can examine communication within specific global settings and
scenes with the goal of ensuring that the meanings made among those
within specific communities is more clearly understood. This
includes recognizing that we often communicate based on specific
assumptions and act in ways that have normative bases that are
shared with those within communities, but are often difficult to
discern or navigate by those who are not members of them. Situated
within the Ethnography of Communication research program, the
contributors in this volume use Cultural Discourse Analysis to
examine such practices, a theory and methodology developed by Donal
Carbaugh over the past thirty years. The book is a celebration of
his work and career, in which forty-four prominent Communication
scholars and practitioners come together to use this framework to
examine pressing communication issues across the globe. The book
includes a preface by Gerry Philipsen that is an academic history
of Carbaugh's career, an introduction outlining the history and
current practice of Cultural Discourse Analysis, sixteen data based
chapters using the framework to examine a broad range of
inter/cultural communication practices across the globe, and an
epilogue by Carbaugh reviewing this research and its future
trajectory. The book is a handbook of Cultural Discourse Analysis
for examining the latest in Cultural Discourse Analysis research
and learning how to do such work that will be useful to advanced
undergraduate and graduate students in a broad range of fields,
inter/cultural communication scholars, and all those who seek to
better understand and communicate in the global world today.
