Also called self-mutilation and self-inflicted violence, self-injury is the intentional harming of one's own body without suicidal intent. It typically begins in adolescence, and commonly affects teenaged girls. Volume 7(4) of The Prevention Researcher was one of the first publications to delve into this little known and understood behavior.
