Self-harm (SH) is deliberate injury inflicted by a person upon his or her own body. Some scholars use more technical definitions related to specific aspects of behavior. This injury may be aimed at relieving otherwise unbearable emotions, sensations of unreality and numbness, or for other reasons. Self-harm is generally a social taboo. It is listed in the DSM-IV-TR as a symptom of Borderline Personality Disorder and is sometimes associated with mental illness, with a history of trauma and abuse, with eating disorders, or with mental traits such as perfectionism. There is a positive statistical correlation between self-harm and emotional abuse.Meltzer, Howard, et. al., (2000), Non Fatal Suicidal Behaviour Among Adults aged 16 to 74 in Great Britain, The Stationary office ISBN 0116215488 Rea, K., Aiken, F., and Borastero, C., (1997) Building Therapeutic Staff: Client Relationships with Women who Self-Harm, Women's Health Issues, 7, 2, p121-125.
Note that this article focuses on repetitive self-harm, not severe self-harm inflicted during psychosis, such as eye enucleation and amputation. Click schnittwunden.JPG for an image showing an example of repetitive self-harm.
Definition
Self-harm is also known as self-injury (SI), self-inflicted violence (SIV), self-injurious behavior (SIB), and self-mutilation LifeSIGNS Self Injury Awareness Booklet, Version 2 Mar. 01, 2005 from Self Injury Awareness Booklet, LifeSIGNS , although this last term has connotations that some people find worrisome, inaccurate, or offensive. When discussing self-harm with someone who engages in it, it is suggested to use the same terms and words which that person uses, e.g. "cutting".Spandler, H (1996) Who's Hurting Who? Young people, self-harm and suicide, Manchester: 42nd Street ISBN 1900782006 Self-harm is usually dissociated from an attempt at suicide; the person who self-harms is not usually seeking to end his or her own life, but is instead hoping to cope with or relieve unbearable emotional pressure or some kind of discomfort.
