Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This qualitative study explores the psychological processes and abilities that enabled 196 individuals to cease sex as self-injury (SASI). The research identifies five key factors for cessation: revised core beliefs, evolved emotional competence, increased relational competence, acquired meta-perspective, and strengthened psychological empowerment. The findings are intended to inform therapeutic interventions within a cognitive behavioral therapy framework.
