- W156768427 abstract "The dramatic diagnostic shift from to the family of posttraumatic stress disorders (PTSD's) involved a major shift clinical formulations with accompanying needs for new theoretical and practical formulations. Women Who Hurt Themselves by Dusty Miller is among the flurry of new books that quite admirably address this new need for clinical guidance.Miller includes among these women all those who do damage to their bodies, which may include self-mutilation, substance abuse, eating disorders, smoking, excessive cosmetic surgery and other symptoms, thus a rather exhaustive category she calls Trauma Reenactment Syndrome (TRS).

The Middle Circle is devoted to current problems and symptoms (p. 182) and the establishment of a supportive network.
