Why do some adolescents self-harm?
…But before trying to answer this, what does the term ‘self-harm’ cover? We assume we know what we are talking about, but when digging a bit deeper the term becomes a puzzle. I refer here to the broad, colloquial term ‘self-harm’, rather than the technical term non-suicidal self-injury that holds a more precise definition.
Excellent and well articulated blog, Maria.. I hope it gets read by many.people wishing to discriminate between various forms of attacking the self..warmest wishes, judith
Thank you so much Judith for reading & commenting. One of the problems with terms such as ‘self harm’ is how unclear it can be, meaning so many different things…
