Preparation phase edit

It is important to recognize that measures of suicide-related thoughts and behaviors (i.e., suicidal ideation) and non-suicidal self injury (NSSI) are measure distinct constructs. NSSI items often specify a behavior with clarification that the behavior was not undertaken with intent of suicide. This distinction is important when identifying which measure to use to evaluate a client.

Suicidal Ideation edit

Self-Injurious Thoughts and Behaviors Interview[1]. Suicide has an article on Wikipedia.

Suicidal Behavior edit


Diagnostic criteria for NSSI edit

DSM-5 Criteria for NSSI

  • Nonsuicidal self-injury is currently a proposed disorder in need of further research in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5)[2].
  • The criteria for NSSI can be found under Conditions for Further Study in DSM-5.

ICD-11 Criteria for NSSI

Intentional self-inflicted injury to the body, most commonly cutting, scraping, burning, biting, or hitting, with the expectation that the injury will lead to only minor physical harm.

  • For ICD-11, self-injury or self-harm is cited as a symptom or sign that is not classified elsewhere

Base rates of NSSI in different populations and clinical settings edit

This section describes the demographic setting of the population(s) sampled, base rates of diagnosis, country/region sampled and the diagnostic method that was used. Using this information, clinicians will be able to anchor the rate of the non-suicidal self injuries (NSSI) that they are likely to see in their clinical practice.

Prediction phase edit

Comparison of screening measures edit

Descriptions of types of NSSI screenings

Differences between types of NSSI measures

  1. Omnibus Measures
    • Assess several NSSI domains
    • These tests are the most comprehensive compared to other measures
  2. Functional Measures
    • Helpful for understanding why people self-injure
    • These tests assess motives for, or functions of, NSSI
  3. Behavioral Measures
    • Primarily assess one's history of NSSI behaviors
    • These measures are useful for assessment methods used and NSSI frequency
  4. Brief Measures
    • Include a single item or a few items to assess NSSI
    • These may be best when conducting a brief assessment

Recommendations

  • Omnibus measures are highly recommended over all other types of measures.
    • The SITBI is the best clinical interview for assessing adolescent NSSI
    • The SASII was designed to assess NSSI among adults.

Treatment edit

Click here for information on treatment for NSSI

According to Nock (2010)[25], no treatment for NSSI could be considered "evidence-based." However, recent years have seen an increase in intervention trials for NSSI. Although limited due to lack of consistency in defining and measuring NSSI, this work could provide insight into potential best practices for treating this condition (Andover, 2015)[4].

  1. Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT)
    1. Dialectical Behavior Therapy has been shown to be effective in treating individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) who engage in NSSI; however it has not been shown to be better than treatment as usual in a sample of individuals without BPD. In the absence of a better option, a DBT approach to treatment is the most evidence based.
  2. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
    1. Few research studies have tested cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) as a treatment specifically for NSSI. However, some studies have evaluated the efficacy of CBT trials in treating self-injury with and without suicidal intent. Manual-assisted cognitive therapy (MACT) is a 6-session CBT intervention focusing on functions of deliberate self-harm, emotion regulation, problem-solving skills, and relapse prevention. MACT has demonstrated mixed results for decreasing NSSI frequency and severity among adults (Tyrer et al., 2003[26]; Weinberg, Gunderson, Hennen, & Cutter, 2006)[27]. Although MACT may be a promising intervention (Muehlenkamp, 2006)[28], it should be evaluated in future studies. In one adolescent treatment trial, the Adolescent Depression Antidepressant Psychotherapy Trial (ADAPT), a decrease in NSSI behaviors was found at post-treatment for both SSRI and SSRI+CBT groups (Goodyer et al., 2007)[29], although no differences were found between groups. In sum, findings from efficacy trials of CBT on NSSI outcomes are mixed, and more trials examining CBT as a treatment specifically for NSSI are needed.
  3. Pharmacology
    1. Pharmacological interventions are especially scarce. However, one study found that fluoxetine was effective at reducing NSSI frequency in a sample of 22 adults with major depressive disorder and either BPD or schizotypal personality disorder (Markovitz et al, 1991)[30]. A second trial found that antidepressant medications alone (SSRIs and SNRIs) were as effective as medication plus CBT in reducing NSSI among adolescents with MDD (Brent et al., 2009[31]; Goodyer et al., 2007)[29]. Ziprasidone, an atypical antipsychotic, was found to be more effective in reducing NSSI behaviors among adolescents compared to another neuroleptic medication (Libal et al., 2005)[32]. Clonidine has also been effective as an intervention for acute NSSI urges and feelings of tension among a sample of patients with BPD (Philipsen et al., 2004)[33], although the long-term effects are unknown.
  4. Prevention programs
    1. Jacobs, Walsh, McDade, and Pigeon (2009)[34] developed the only known prevention program for NSSI, the Signs of Self-Injury program (SOSI). This school-based prevention program is designed to increase awareness about NSSI among adolescents through psychoeducation about warning signs and symptoms and improvement of help-seeking behaviors and attitudes. One test of effectiveness and acceptance found the program to be feasible and effective at changing attitudes toward NSSI and increasing help-seeking among students (Muehlenkamp et al., 2010)[35].
