I have a question purely for informational purposes.
I have been reading a book on deliberate self injury (for work) I'd like to know how many parents/fosters of teens have experienced this with their kids.
Deliberate cutting, burning, scratching, etc. to inflict injury, but not to attempt suicide.
The book says this is phenomenon is on the rise in the U.S and has become known as "the anorexia of the '90's" It is being seen more and more often in psychiatric. hospital and is very difficult to treat. It is seen mostly in females, and mostly in females with a history of trauma. (physical/sexual/emotional abuse) (real or perceived)
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks
