Paper Summary:
This paper examines two different research studies on self-mutilation in order to fully understand the psychological effects of such behavior on the individual and the cause of this behavior. It also explores different types of self-mutilation.From the Paper:
"Contrary to what these researchers hypothesized, an astounding 40.2% cut because they wanted to die. (Evans, Hawton, & Rodham 2004). For decades, self-harm as been viewed as an indication of suicidal behavior. However, this research found this view to be false. The 40.2% who claim they wanted to die while self-mutilating are the minority. Furthermore, most of the individuals who harm themselves do not do so with suicide as the primary motive. I think this is a highly valuable point in this study. Although suicide should not be overlooked, it is important to not jump to the conclusion of suicidality with self-mutilators."More papers on Self-Mutilation:
