Nonsuicidal Self-Injury in Adolescents
Overview
This paper reviews nonsuicidal self-injury in adolescents, covering prevalence rates, risk factors such as bullying and abuse, and neurobiological findings like abnormal stress processing. It notes that while various psychotherapeutic interventions reduce NSSI frequency, no single therapy is clearly superior, though dialectical-behavioral and mentalization-based therapies show small to moderate effects. The resource also mentions the issuance of German clinical guidelines recommending psychotherapy as the primary treatment.
