Printer-friendly versionPrinter-friendly version

David Calof, John Briere, and Dusty Miller discuss the roots of self injury in trauma, especially childhood sexual abuse. They point out that self harm takes many forms, including cutting, burning, passive collusion, accidents, and eating disorders. Whatever the modality, the key factor in successful intervention is to discover the motivations behind these adaptive responses to trauma, which may include tension reduction, trauma reenactment, punishment, and rage expression.
