Update
I have been very busy constructing the database of self-harm over the winter and I am now busy working on the book. I have arrived at a point where it is impossible to work on the book without the aid of the database because of the complexity of this phenomenon.
It was necessary to get very complex with the database in order to produce the book on self-harm in an easy to understand form. Without a good understanding of the paridoxical nature of self-harm it would be impossible to explain this phenomenon in a way that can be clearly understood by others. The database is used to create links that premit one to understand what is going on in the psychic background of an individual who is given to self-harm. The book itself will describe the phenomenon of self-harm in the form of analogies involving popular ancient and modern mythology rather than in terms of psychology.
A proper psychological explanation would be far too enigmatic even for conventional psychlogists themselves to comprehend. This is because, as I mentioned in my last post, there exists a mental block that prevents rational people from undrestanding the paradox of self-harm. Consequently, theorists are wont to make up explanations that fit cultural expectations that are nothing more than fantasies, which gives rise to a “professional” attitude that in effect says, “My fantasies are okay; your fantasies are delusions.”
Self-harm is a symptom that suggests that it is a dream-like quest that transcends conscious understanding, and concerns about one’s personal safety.
