Erased: Missing Women, Murdered Wives por Marilee Strong
An excellent insight in the Dark Triad that makes up the character of Eraser killers (men who make their wives/girlfriends,significant others "disappear" ).

I wish that more people had the opportunity to read this book. As a person who is very familiar with self-harm, I found myself understanding the mindset behind many of the stories in this book. This is an issue that is often not discussed as much as it should be due to its taboo nature, but it is something that really should be discussed as much as possible. Many thanks go to the author who is able to bring light to a very bleak subject.
This is a must read if you know someone you care about that's a self-mutiliator. Our society is so quick to judge others by their actions, particularly if considered "abnormal". This book puts you into the mind of those with this issue. Non-judgemental understanding is the goal of the book and it succeeds in bringing the reader there.
this is a comprehensive scholarly resource on the subject of self mutilation. The research is comprehensive. It is both qualitative and quantitative. It also spa M.ns many decades.
