Among the many therapy programs offered is the nation's first residential self-injury treatment program for teenage girls. Physically injuring oneself is emotionally satisfying to some teenagers - overwhelmingly girls - who say they feel cleansed and in control when they cut their skin and bleed. Many liken the euphoria they feel to a narcotics rush. But the self-injurer is left feeling worthless and ashamed when the "rush" wears off. The "cutter" repeatedly reaches for a knife or shard of broken glass. Short-term counselling for teen "cutters" is offered at some psychiatric hospitals and clinics but sustained treatment hasn't been available at residential facilities - or by frantic parents who can no longer handle their teens. Through exclusive access to Vista del Mar, with its ground-breaking self-injury treatment program forming a mesmerising, shocking framework, we explore "cutting", the phenomenon silently stealing a piece of American youth. Cutters is a unique take on what life is like for the estimated 1 million American teens (80% female), and their families, fighting a brutal and shocking enemy: the urge to self-injure. Cutters does not rely on purely anecdotal style. Through a carefully-crafted blend of ongoing treatment sessions, heart wrenching personal "video diary confessionals", family interviews and interaction, family photo archive, field expert interviews and fly-on-the-wall observations of everyday life on the unit, we will not only come to understand this hidden world and know the girls caught up in it, we will live it . . . 24/7. Observing a range of sufferers within the program, at various stages of treatment and recovery, Cutters paints a surprising, provocative picture, constructing a puzzle of complementary pieces into an empowering profile of monumental courage in the face of an insidious, overwhelming "enemy" within. It sometimes seems like teenagers are more vulnerable than they have ever been. Whether it is a change of perception or something more fundamental, the media is full of stories about gangs and individual predators, abuse and violence against children. Cutters looks at a threat closer to home -- that of self-abuse, and the lives of those who feel their only vent for their fears and frustrations is to harm themselves. How can we bring them back into society, give them the freedom to have confidence in themselves again, and help them help themselves? A gritty, raw, and frequently uncomfortable survey, which puts these seemingly contradictory victim-perpetrators centre stage." (tümünü göster) (özeti göster)
