Abstract

Non‐suicidal self‐injury is the intentional destruction of body tissue without suicidal intent and for purposes not socially sanctioned. In this practice‐friendly review, the authors summarize the empirical research on who self‐injures, why people self‐injure, and what treatments have demonstrated effectiveness. Self‐injury is more common in adolescents and young adults as compared to adults. Common forms include cutting, severe scratching, burning, and banging or hitting; most individuals who self‐injure have used more than one method. Although diagnostically heterogeneous, self‐injurers typically exhibit two prominent characteristics: negative emotionality and self‐derogation. Self‐injury is most often performed to temporarily alleviate intense negative emotions, but may also serve to express self‐directed anger or disgust, influence or seek help from others, end periods of dissociation or depersonalization, and help resist suicidal thoughts. Psychotherapies that emphasize emotion regulation, functional assessment, and problem solving appear to be most effective in treating self‐injury. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
