Self Mutilation

No customer reviews yet ISBN 9780737738292

Each year, 1 in 5 females and 1 in 7 males engage in self injury. This self injury is often a coping mechanism for far more serious issues. Enable your readers to engage in a necessary debate about this topic. The essays collected here are provided in a pro versus con sequence, so that readers can evaluate more than one side to every topic. Across four chapters, readers will examine whether self-mutilation is a serious problem, whether body modification falls within mutilation, what triggers self-mutilation, and what should be done to reduce self-mutilating behavior. Essay sources include Teen Vogue, LifeSIGNS, and the Cornell University Family Life Development Center.

Oxford Handbook of Obsessive Compulsive and Spectrum Disorders
<p><em>The Oxford Handbook of Obsessive Compulsive and Spectrum Disorders</em> reviews current literature on obsessive compulsive disorder and its associated spectrum conditions -- body dysmorphic disorder, hoarding, trichotillomania, tic disorders, and Tourette's Syndrome. Authored by leading experts in these fields, these 27 chapters summarize and synthesize current findings, providing an authoritative guide for practice and research in this unique subject area.</p><p>With sections dedicated to phenomenology and epidemiology, biological features, genetic factors, neurological features, and cognitive processing models for understanding how people with OCD and spectrum conditions respond to information. Authors then examine family and social relationships and personality features, and how these factors can affect an individual with an OC spectrum disorder, especially older adults, children, and adolescents. Theoretical models for understanding these disorders and newer experimental therapies for treating them are also presented. A final chapter examines some of the most challenging research issues and understudied aspects of these psychiatric problems, especially hoarding, with hopes that this volume will encourage original research performed by practitioners.</p>
