“…Based on the proposed DSM criteria, recovery would be operationalised as self‐injuring on fewer than 5 days in the last year, no longer self‐injuring for a purpose (e.g., to gain relief from painful emotion), no longer experiencing urges or preoccupation with NSSI, and no longer experiencing interference with daily functioning attributed to NSSI. There has been extensive focus on Criteria A, which stipulates the frequency with which NSSI must be engaged to meet diagnostic criteria (on 5 days in the last year; Hooley et al, 2020). While other criteria are provided, this focus on frequency suggests that a reduction in the frequency of NSSI may be the primary treatment goal.…”

Growing interest has been paid to the concept of non‐suicidal self‐injury (NSSI) recovery. In research, and sometimes clinical practice, the focus has been on NSSI cessation, with recovery operationalised with reference to the time since someone last self‐injured. Yet, perspectives from people with lived experience of NSSI indicate that recovery is much more complex. Drawing on recent empirical work, and the voices of people with lived experience of NSSI, we outline a new framework for conceptualizing NSSI recovery. We argue that recovery is nonlinear and multifaceted, comprising: Realistic Expectations and Setbacks; Normalizing Thoughts and Urges; Fostering Self‐efficacy; Identifying Strengths; Finding Alternatives; Addressing Underlying Adversities; Addressing and Accepting Scarring; Navigating Disclosures; and Self‐acceptance. In presenting research and clinical implications of this new framework, we propose that this framing offers a more complete understanding of NSSI recovery—one conducive to optimizing wellbeing and promoting resilience among individuals with lived experience.

“…Others note that NSSI is associated with many different personality disorders and more importantly, it can also occur in nonclinical populations. These arguments support the development of NSSID as a new diagnostic category (for example, see Hooley et al, 2020). This controversy highlights the heterogeneous nature of NSSI, a condition with many potential causes, risk factors, associations, and comorbidities.…”

Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a type of behavioral pathology seen not only in a variety of clinical conditions but also among non-clinical populations, particularly adolescents and young adults. With the exception of rare genetic conditions that give rise to self-harming behaviors, the etiology of NSSI and the events that trigger specific episodes of this behavior remain poorly understood. This review presents the features of an important, extensively studied animal model of NSSI, namely spontaneously occurring self-injurious behavior (SIB) in rhesus macaque monkeys. We compare and contrast rhesus monkey SIB with NSSI with respect to form, prevalence rates, environmental and biological risk factors, behavioral correlates, proposed functions, and treatment modalities. Many parallels between rhesus monkey SIB and NSSI are demonstrated, which supports the validity of this animal model across several domains. Determining the etiology of spontaneously occurring SIB in monkeys, its underlying biological mechanisms, and which pharmacological agents are most effective for treating the disorder may aid in identifying potential risk factors for the occurrence of NSSI in humans and developing medications for severe cases that are resistant to conventional psychotherapeutic approaches.

“…Self-harm is a significant issue in adolescence, and it is strongly related to attempts (Hooley et al, 2020) and death by suicide (Hawton et al, 2013). Approximately 40-60% of people who die by suicide have performed self-harm previously, meaning that the risk of suicide is higher for those who exhibit self-harm behavior (Geulayov et al, 2019;Owens et al, 2002).…”

“…It is noteworthy that monitoring self-harm assists in detecting behavioral aspects that are important for suicide prevention and for planning and implementing alternative treatments (Hawton et al, 2015). It is complemented that only a limited number of studies have been published in Brazil investigating self-harm in adolescence (Fonseca et al, 2018) and it is a condition that warrants further studies to be carried out to be better understood (Hooley et al, 2020).…”

Objective: The objective of this study was to identify the presence of self-harm behavior among adolescents, the methods and reasons for this behavior, and to assess the association with the sociodemographic, anxiety, and depression variables. Methodology: This is a quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional study carried out with 73 adolescents attending a school in a city in southern Minas Gerais, Brazil. The data collection instruments used were the following: Characterization, Economic Classification, Functional Assessment of Self - Mutilation, Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders, and the Children's Depression Inventory. Results: Self-harm was evidenced in 84.9% of the participants, 72.6% presented anxiety symptoms, 50.6% presented depression symptoms, and 37.1 % presented suicidal ideation. The methods used for self-harm were the following: poking wounds, hitting and biting oneself, and skin cutting. The main motivations were the following: to relieve feelings of emptiness or indifference, to cease negative feelings or sensations, and to feel relaxed. Self-harm is associated with the female gender, suicidal ideation, anxiety, and depression. Conclusion: It is concluded that self-harm is a risk factor for suicide and generates significant suffering interfering negatively in the lives of adolescents. The need for greater attention to the mental health of adolescents in the school context is highlighted.
