Utilizing published autobiographies, we explore how individuals who self-injure discursively construct their experiences of the self and self-injury. The authors construct their selves into two seemingly opposite subject positions, here named the “bad girl” and the “good girl.” For the most part, the authors identify themselves with the “bad girl” position. Although there is a struggle to uphold normalcy in front of others, they regard evidence of the “good girl” position as fake. We demonstrate how they, to a large extent, accept the dominant discourse of self-injury as an individual and pathological problem for which they tend to blame themselves. However, they also challenge the negative subject position by separating themselves discursively from the bad “side of the self.” Acts of self-injury are described as a way to cope with the negative perception of themselves and at the same time being what causes feelings of self-loathing. Thus, understanding how the psychomedical discourse affects individuals who self-injure as well as the consequences of the medicalization of self-injury are of importance. Furthermore, social workers may be in a legitime position to work with the self-representations and the social factors that may underlie an individual’s need to cut or in other ways physically hurt oneself.

自伤自传中的“好”与“坏”主体位置

利用已发表的自传,我们探讨了自伤者如何散漫地构建他们的自我和自伤经历。作者将自己构建成两个看似相反的主体位置,这里分别命名为“坏女孩”和“好女孩”。在大多数情况下,作者将自己定位为“坏女孩”。尽管在别人面前维护常态很挣扎,但他们认为“好女孩”地位的证据是假的。我们展示了他们如何在很大程度上接受自残的主导话语作为他们倾向于责怪自己的个体和病理问题。然而,他们也通过散漫地将自己与坏的“自我”的一面分开来挑战消极的主体地位。“自伤行为被描述为一种应对对自己的负面看法的方式,同时也是导致自我厌恶感的原因。因此,了解心理医学话语如何影响自我伤害的个体以及自我伤害医学化的后果是很重要的。此外,社会工作者可能处于合法地位,可以处理可能构成个人需要削减或以其他方式身体伤害自己的自我表现和社会因素的工作。
