Description

Self-injurious behaviors are not a new phenomenon. Favazza (1988) first studied "self mutilation" after an October 1985 broadcast of the Phil Donahue show discussing self-abuse. Prior to Favazza's research, self-injurious behaviors had been examined within diagnostic criteria for disorders such as borderline personality disorder. Although self-injurious behaviors are one of the criteria for personality disorders, the behavior has been observed in individuals without obvious personality disorders (Crowe & Bunclark, 2000). Favazza (1988) began to examine the phenomenon of self-injury as a stand-alone behavior, but it is only within the past few years that self-injurious behaviors have begun to be examined in non-clinical populations. Ross and Heath (2002, 2003) and Muehlenkamp and Gutierrez (2004) found that youth engaging in self-injury in community samples identified feelings of anxiety, depression, and hostility on self-report measures. However, there was no indication that these youth had been formally diagnosed with any psychiatric disorders. There now exists a new generation of youth without significant psychiatric issues who self-injure (Derouin & Bravender, 2004; Walsh, 2006). Many youth who fall into the "new generation" appear well adjusted and appear to have supportive networks around them. However, they are turning to self-injury to help cope with the stresses of life.
