Abstract
Nonsuicidal self-injury: a condition for further study.
Highlights
Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) has been recognized in the scientific literature since the 1960s [1, 2] with ever increasing rates of publications since, there has been some dispute about the correct classification, and definition [3–5], with different terms, making it difficult to compare data between studies
This is exactly what this thematic series adds: a wide range of new research increasing the knowledge we currently have about nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI), going beyond the borders of the already known
Taking a closer look at the studies, which appear in the first volume of this thematic series, we can safely claim, that a broad variety of topics is covered: Questioning what maintains and what stops these behaviors, Duggan et al present data from a one-year longitudinal study
Summary
Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) has been recognized in the scientific literature since the 1960s [1, 2] with ever increasing rates of publications since, there has been some dispute about the correct classification, and definition [3–5], with different terms, making it difficult to compare data between studies. The sheer quality and quantity of manuscripts handed in after our call, allowed us to create a two-volume issue on NSSI, unprecedented in the history of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Mental Health.
