I'm not going to do your homework for you and I've taken all my articles down out of fear of the copyright police but, yes, people definitely can stop. Most of what I've read points to a good amount of self-injurers 'aging' out of the behavior by the time they hit their 30s. This, of course, doesn't mean that people stop self-injuring and become happy or there are no self-injurers that are older and the word aging isn't meant to indicate that self-injury is immature. It all depends on the person and, of course, their history. As for the word, cure, I'd say using that is probably going to get the wrong sort of Google results. Something like self-injury isn't a behavior to be cured, it's something that one may replace with other healthier coping mechanisms, it's something that one replace with other behaviors that are self-destructive, it's something that can be treated and overcome, it's something that might be left behind as someone moves forward in life, it's something that someone might consider themselves recovered from yet end up turning to it during a horribly difficult period such as the time following the death of a loved one, divorce, etc., etc. It's varied since psychology is a soft science. There are no facts. I've read the profiles of self-injurers by supposed experts and most are barely a nodding acquaintance to me.

Look up Non-Suicidal Self Injury since they were looking into adding it into DSM-V.
