Abstract
Nonsuicidal self-injury: a rapidly evolving global field.
Highlights
Since its inception in 2006, the International Society for the Study of Self-injury (ISSS; http://www.itriples.org) has steadily attracted researchers, clinicians, and students from around the globe with a shared interest in better understanding and addressing nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI)
Reflecting this explosion of scientific knowledge is the recent inclusion of NSSI as a condition meriting further research in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-5) [2]
With researchers attending from four continents and 12 countries, the 2015 ISSS meeting showcased a number of new empirical advances, which illustrate how much the NSSI field has progressed
Summary
Since its inception in 2006, the International Society for the Study of Self-injury (ISSS; http://www.itriples.org) has steadily attracted researchers, clinicians, and students from around the globe with a shared interest in better understanding and addressing nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI). Other new lines of research presented at this year’s conference involved experimental procedures in which researchers used in vivo, lab-based proxies for NSSI [4,5,6]. Other highlights from the 2015 ISSS meeting build on research [7] examining the DSM-5 criteria for NSSI Disorder (2).
