More than that, it revealed self-mutilation as a comprehensible, treatable disorder, no longer to be evaded by the public and neglected by professionals. Using copious examples from his practice, Steven Levenkron traces the factors that predispose a personality to self-mutilation: genetics, family experience, childhood trauma, and parental behavior. Written for sufferers, parents, friends, and therapists, \u003cem\u003eCutting\u003c\/em\u003e explains why the disorder manifests in self-harming behaviors and describes how patients can be helped.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eLevenkron, Steven:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eSteven Levenkron\u003c\/strong\u003e is a psychotherapist and the author of seven previous books, including \u003cem\u003eCutting\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Anatomy of Anorexia\u003c\/em\u003e.
