Guidelines to support adolescent girls who self-MutilateRobertson, Veronica Lee 11 1900 (has links)
This study centered on adolescent self-mutilation as well as possible forms of support and
prevention. The information was gathered by assessing the needs of the adolescent girls who
self-mutilate by means of semi-structured interviews. In these interviews the adolescent girls
expressed their experiences of self-mutilation and their emotional needs. The aim of the study
was to explore and describe the needs of adolescent girls who self-mutilate in order to develop
guidelines of support so that parents may feel less helpless and overwhelmed. The findings of
the study indicated that there are various reasons why an adolescent would engage in selfmutilation,
that it serves a function in the adolescents’ lives and surfaces at times of emotional
crisis. This study found further that a lack of problem-solving skills, coping abilities and
social skills could play a role in whether an adolescent chooses to self-mutilate. / Social Work / M. Diac. (Play therapy)
