Sarah Chaney‘s monograph Psyche on the Skin: A History of Self-Harm (Reaktion, 2017) is out now.

Taking the reader from the Victorian era to modern Britain, Psyche on the Skin challenges the idea that self-harm is a phenomenon that can be attributed to ‘how we live now’. Read more in QMUL’s press release.

Sarah’s book has already featured on Woman’s Hour and in Vice. Look out for more coverage in The Psychologist Magazine and The Conversation, coming soon.
