Abstract. Deliberate self-harm was studied in 14-year-old adolescents from four schools in southern

Sweden with a test–retest design, using a nine-item version of the Deliberate Self-Harm Inventory. At

Time 1, 40.2% of the adolescents indicated deliberate self-harm on at least one occasion compared

relative absence of positive feelings toward parents were predictors of self-harm independently of

general psychopathology. In addition, deliberate self-harm correlated with symptoms of eating

disorder and negative body esteem in girls. (Less)
