Sumario:"Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) is the deliberate damaging of one's own body in the absence of any intent to die. Although reports of this behavior span centuries, reported instances of NSSI have increased dramatically over the past 20 years. This authoritative book provides new information about why this behavior occurs and what evidence-based assessment and treatments are available. Editor Matthew K. Nock has compiled a comprehensive overview of NSSI written by leading theorists, researchers, and clinicians in the field. Drawing on the historical, biological, cognitive, behavioral, and interpersonal literature, the contributors help to provide answers to some key questions: How prevalent is NSSI? What is its history? Does it occur more frequently among youth? Among females? What influences its occurrence? And, most important, how can mental health professionals help those who self-injure? The result is a monumental and highly accessible study of NSSI. Understanding Non-suicidal Self-Injury: Origins, Assessment, and Treatment is a must-read for both researchers and clinicians, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, nurses, and all who wish to help those who struggle with this disturbing behavior"--Jacket.
