“…Well documented risk factors include dissociation [11], emotional dysregulation [12], and psychopathology such as Borderline Personality Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and Depersonalization Disorder [1,4]. Recent research suggests sexual abuse is not a risk factor for NSSI; rather it is the resulting PTSD symptomatology [13].…”

Abstract:This investigation assessed the role of the Big Five dimensions of personality and perfectionism in predicting nonsuicidal cutting in a sample of undergraduate students. Of 292 students, 50 (17%) endorsed cutting behavior. Duration of cutting was associated with Openness, and Introversion, as well as perfectionistic rumination. Frequency of cutting was associated with Conscientiousness, Agreeableness, low Neuroticism (accounting for about 20% of the variance), as well as perfectionistic rumination, organization, and low concern over mistakes (accounting for 31% of the variance). These findings are discussed in the context of previous research investigations of risk factors for nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) that are convergent, and sometimes discrepant with these data. The findings suggest that more research into personality traits and methods of NSSI is warranted.

“…Such alternations then in those structures inhibit the normal integration of information to the components that are involved and induce alternations in memory and identity, promoting in such way the development of different kinds of dissociative disorders, depending on the severity of the symptoms (Putnam, 1993). are considered to contribute to the enhancement of emotional disengagement from the traumatic event (Zlotnick et al, 1996;Irwin & Melbin-Helberg, 1997;Grabe, et al, 2000;Elzinga, et al (2002); .…”

“…Patients are e.g. taught healthier affect-regulation skills to deal with stressful situations, and "grounding" techniques enabling to escape from dissociative states (Briere & Gil, 1998;Zlotnick et al, 1996). Cognitive strategies are used to correct irrational beliefs about traumatic experiences (e.g., from self-criticism to criticising others; the offender is guilty, not the victim).…”
