CONDITION - USED - Pages can include limited notes and highlighting, and the copy can include "From the library of" labels or previous owner inscriptions. Accessories such as CD, codes, toys, may not be included. From back cover: Bodies under Siege is the first comprehensive book on this complex and disturbing behavior (self-mutilation). Favazza contends that all self-mutilation is deeply embedded in the elemental experiences of healing, religion, and social amity--and reveals that clinical self-mutilation is a far more common phenomenon than has previously been acknowledged.
