A major finding was that the staff defines self-injury as when someone deliberately harm themselves physically to relieve psychical pain. Another finding from our interviews was that the majority of those who deliberate harm themselves are girls from the early teens up to the age of thirty. Our interviews have shown that there are two different groups of girls with self-injurious behaviours, those with temporary self-injurious behaviours during a period of crisis and those with personality problems who have more manifest self-injurious behaviours. It has been shown that for both groups the self-injury is a way of express feelings that they cannot put into words. The study has shown that the staff works to teach these patients how to handle psychical pain without hurting themselves. (Less)
