Based on the different professional backgrounds of the authors (anthropologist and psychologist), and taking postmodern ideas, exemplified by social constructionism and poststructuralism
as a common epistemological starting point, self-injury is described as social suffering. The authors present the concepts of “idioms of distress” (Mark Nichter), “technologies of the self” (Michel Foucault) and “small acts of living” (Erving Goffman) and uses them as perspectives in a critical description of treatment culture based on a field study by Helen Gremillion. This critique is continued in a paragraph concerning the postmodern challenge in relation to self-injury. Finally, we outline some principles of
how to work with people who self-injure in a postmodern therapeutic practice.

Ophavsret er tidsskriftets og forfatternes. Det er gældende praksis, at artikler publiceret i Psyke & Logos, som efterfølgende oversættes til andet sprog, af forfatteren frit kan publiceres i internationale tidsskrifter, dog således at det ved reference fremgår, at den oversatte artikel har et forlæg i en dansksproget version i Psyke & Logos. Artikler kan frit deles og linkes til på forsknings- og undervisningsnetværk (så som Blackboard). Link foretrækkes, fordi det giver oplysning om brug af tidsskriftets artikler.
