185. American Self-Harm Information Clearinghouse - Selfinjury.org As a result, friends and loved ones of people who selfinjure often feel frightened E-mail inquires should be sent to ashic@selfinjury.org and telephone http://www.selfinjury.org/indexnet.html

Approximately 1% of the population has, at one time or another, used self-inflicted physical injury as a means of coping with an overwhelming situation or feeling. ASHIC - the American Self-Harm Information Clearinghouse - strives to increase public awareness of the phenomenon of self-inflicted violence and the unique challenges faced by self-injurers and the people who care about them. Self-harm scares people. The behavior can be disturbing and difficult to understand, and it is often treated in a simplistic or sensational manner by the press. As a result, friends and loved ones of people who self-injure often feel frightened, isolated, and helpless. Sometimes they resort to demands or ultimatums as a way of trying to regain some control over the situation, only to see things deteriorate further. The first step toward coping with self-injurious behavior is education: bringing reliable information about who self-injures, why they do it, and how they can learn to stop to people who self-injure and to their friends, loved ones, and medical caregivers. ASHIC was founded to meet this need for honest, accurate information. About Self-harm Self-harm, also known as self-injury, self-inflicted violence, self-injurious behavior, or self-mutilation, can be defined as the deliberate, direct injury of one's own body that causes tissue damage or leave marks for more than a few minutes and that is done in order to deal with an overwhelming or distressing situation.

Self-mutilation culture Self-harm is a way of dealing with very strong emotions. For some people it gives the relief that crying may provide for the rest of us - but maybe they've cried so much that it no longer gives them any relief. Some self-harming people feel so angry and aggressive that they can't control their emotions. They become afraid that they may hurt someone, so they turn their aggression inwards to get relief. People who self-harm are often labelled as 'attention seeking'. However, a person who self-harms may believe this is the only way to communicate their distress. Self-harm can be a hidden problem that goes on for years. It may start as a spur-of-the-moment outlet for anger and frustration (such as punching a wall) and can develop into a major way of coping with stress that, because it remains hidden, generates more stress.

Glossary Pain and deliberate self-harm Michaela Swales Deliberate self-harm is a troubling aspect of adolescence (and possibly even adulthood) that appears to be on the increase. Its relationship with pain is uncertain, but for many self-harm is not so much about the inflicting of physical pain as the cessation of emotional pain For many people the idea of deliberately harming oneself is difficult to conceptualize. Many of us may spend our time attempting to avoid harm to ourselves either in the short-term (wearing a seat-belt) or in the long-term (exercising regularly, eating a healthy diet). Many of us would flinch from the idea of wilfully inflicting acute damage to our own bodies. How then can we understand individuals for whom harming the self is not something that they avoid or find aversive but is something that they seek out? Deliberate self-harm is a term that covers a wide range of behaviours some of which are directly related to suicide and some that are not. This is a relatively common behaviour that is little understood.
