Self-Injury and the Internet
Previous models of therapeutic treatment for self-injury have been focused on individualistic psycho-medical approaches that isolate and stigmatize people who cut, burn, and otherwise self-harm. The rise of cyber communities of self-injury, beginning in the early 2000s but evolving dramatically over...

The rise of cyber communities of self-injury, beginning in the early 2000s but evolving dramatically over the first decade of the twenty-first century, has offered a diversity of groups that individuals can join, cycling through different ones as their movement through their career of self-injury evolves.

Les précédents modèles de traitement thérapeutique des pratiques d’automutilation étaient basés sur des approches psycho-médicales individualistes, qui tendaient à isoler et à stigmatiser les personnes pratiquant diverses blessures auto-infligées comme les coupures ou les brûlures. Dès le début des années 2000, l’apparition de communautés en ligne consacrées à cette pratique, qui se développent de façon spectaculaire au cours de la première décennie du XXIe siècle, présente aux individus une diversité de groupes qu’ils peuvent rejoindre et dans lesquels ils peuvent évoluer au cours de leurs carrières d’automutilation. Ces groupes proposent à leurs membres un ensemble de normes et de valeurs alternatives concernant l'automutilation, ce qui leur permet de définir et de « normaliser » leur pratique, d’obtenir du soutien, ou encore d’avoir accès à une gamme de techniques pour lutter contre elle. Dans cet article, nous examinons les différentes manières dont les personnes participent à ces communautés en ligne, les rapports entre mondes en ligne et face-à-face, et les effets que produit Internet sur l'automutilation. Nous concluons par une discussion sur les effets instrumentaux et expressifs des groupes de soutien à destination des personnes qui s’automutilent et la façon dont ces groupes contribuent à « normaliser » ce comportement et à favoriser un moral passage au sens de Gusfield. |
