Exclusion criteria are ongoing outpatient psychotherapy, planned interval treatment at the day clinic and expected recurrent suicidality and self-injuring behaviour.
Similarly, shorter measures typically assessing for prototypical self-injuring behaviours (e.g. cutting; which females in this sample self-reported more) may under-estimate male NSSI.
A related adolescent task is the development of sexuality, and same-sex attraction may be a risk factor for self-injuring behaviour among youth [ 32, 60].
Exclusion criteria are - interval patients, defined as patients who return to the day hospital after 3-6 montos to continue their therapy; - patients who show a distinct emotional instability with recurrent suicide crises and self-injuring behaviour.
In Jainism, violence refers primarily to injuring one's own self – behaviour which inhibits the soul's own ability to attain or liberation.
Early whalers exploited this behaviour, attracting a whole unit by injuring one of its members.
NSSI can be differentiated from suicidal behaviour through the intentions behind the injuring.
They generally avoid disciplining a child by ignoring his/her behaviour except when the child is in real jeopardy of injuring him/herself.
Of the sample, 526 reported a history of NSSI and 308 of those who self-injured had disclosed their behaviour to someone else, most commonly friends and parents.
For instance, it might be considered unfair that a young drunken driver who has injured himself through reckless behaviour is preferred for treatment over an elderly person who is not to blame for his illness.
From here, approaches rooted in the stages of change model [ 35] and motivational interviewing [ 33, 35, 36] may be particularly useful when monitoring these activities, reducing the impact of more pernicious online material, and helping adolescents who self-injure develop healthier online behaviours.
