Many thanks to everyone for their sugested resources for a family that needed information on cutting. I've tried to consolidate some of the duplication. Also, I tried to thank everyone individually, but if I missed you please know that I'm grateful for your input. I also received quite a few emails that related personal struggles with people close to them that are or were cutting themselves. My heart goes out to all of you that have had this very serious issue touch your lives in any way.

Armando R. Favazza, MD Johns Hopkins University Press It covers mutilative beliefs in religions and cultures, examining the spectrum of everything from piercing ears to things like genital mutilation, from modest tattoos, to ritual scarification. So it talks about culturally sanctioned self mutilation, as well as the pathological practices. It's rather heavy-duty, and includes things like animals and automutilation, and interestingly enough, eating disorders and cannibalism. This book is rather technical, and uses a lot of medical terminology. It's written for professionals.
