- Summary:
- This volume presents a comprehensive nosology of self-injurious behaviors, classifying them as stereotypic (e.g., head banging, seen mostly in developmentally disabled patients), major (e.g., castration, a rare complication of psychosis), compulsive (e.g., hair pulling), and impulsive (e.g., skin picking). Its distinguished contributors cover both the theoretical and the practical as they discuss these categories in relation to phenomenology, biological and psychological theories, and pharmacological and psychotherapeutic treatment approaches.
