TY - JOUR PY - 2013// TI - Attempted suicide v. non-suicidal self-injury: behaviour, syndrome or diagnosis? JO - British journal of psychiatry A1 - Butler, Aine M. A1 - Malone, Kevin SP - 324 EP - 325 VL - 202 IS - 5 N2 - Nomenclature used to describe acts of self-harm without fatal consequences varies considerably. The term 'non-suicidal self-injury' (NSSI) offers an opportunity to clarify study in this field, dichotomising the presence or absence of suicidal intent. This may improve consistency in reporting suicide and self-injurious behaviour with implications for management and prognosis.
