“…Re sponses are on a 7-point scale with higher scores reflecting more intense urges to self-injure. The ABUSI has adequate reliability and validity (Washburn, Juzwin, Styer, & Aldridge, 2010) and was included in this study as an existing measure of NSI characteris tics.…”

The entry for nonsuicidal self-injury (NSI) disorder in the 5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual o f Mental Disorders provides a criterion-based definition of clinically relevant NSI. NSI disorder is currently classified in the DSM-5 as a condition requiring further study. The present study aimed to examine the reliability, validity, and clinical utility of a self-report measure of NSI disorder, the Alexian Brothers Assessment of Self-Injury (ABASI). The sample included 511 patients admitted to an acute care treatment program designed to treat NSI. Patients were administered the ABASI as part of a clinical assessment and routine outcome evaluation. The sample included a broad age range, as well as sufficient numbers of males and Hispanics to examine sociodemographic differences. The ABASI demonstrated adequate internal consistency and test-retest reliability, and the factor structure reflects NSI disorder criteria. Among patients being treated for NSI, 74% met criteria for NSI disorder. No differences in the rate of NSI disorder were observed by sex, ethnicity, or age. Although NSI disorder is associated with a worse presentation of self-injurious behavior, NSI disorder provides limited clinical utility as a dichotomous diagnosis, at least when compared with common NSI characteristics such as number of methods of NSI and the urge to self-injure. Instead, findings support a dimensional approach to NSI disorder. Analyses of specific symptoms of NSI disorder indicate concerns with Criterion B as currently defined by the DSM-5. Recommendations for a more parsimonious revision of NSI disorder are discussed.

“…This aimed to eliminate the often noted limitations of long-term, retrospective self-reporting. Given that self-harm is often repeated (Owens et al, 2002) and that many individuals with self-harm histories experience strong (and often frequent) urges to engage in self-injurious behaviours (Washburn et al, 2010), the timeframe also aimed to ensure that reporting of self-harm ideation and enactment would be of sufficient frequency to facilitate meaningful exploration.…”

“…Obsessive-compulsive characteristics may be demonstrated among individuals with more chronic and repetitive NSSI due to the reinforcing effects of the behavior, and individual's report that urges to self-injure can come on suddenly and be hard to resist (Washburn, Juzwin, Styer & Aldridge, 2010). Similarly, individuals who are diagnosed with the restrictive subtype of AN tend to show high comorbidity with OC(P)D (Claes, Vandereycken & Vertommen, 2002;Halmi et al, 2005;Serpell et al, 2002).…”

Both non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) and eating disorders (ED) are considered to be harmful behaviors falling within a behavioral spectrum ranging from self-care to self-harm. The high degree of co-occurrence of these behaviors, along with their shared body focus has motivated researchers to investigate and theorize about the potential shared factors driving their comorbidity. In this chapter, we present a conceptual model based upon the current empirical literature depicting distal and proximal psychosocial risk factors shared by NSSI and ED. This model provides a framework for understanding the co-occurrence of NSSI and ED, with the different components being further elaborated on and discussed with regards to treatment recommendations across the different chapters included in this volume. The chapter concludes with a short introduction and summary of each of the chapters within this book.
