TY - JOUR PY - 2019// TI - Rethinking self-injury recovery: a commentary and conceptual reframing JO - BJPsych bulletin A1 - Lewis, Stephen P. A1 - Hasking, Penelope A. SP - 1 EP - 3 VL - ePub IS - ePub N2 - A growing body of research has focused on understanding what may contribute to cessation of self-injury. Although these efforts are of value, cessation represents just one component of self-injury recovery. Exclusive or primary focus on cessation may foster unrealistic expectations for those with lived experience of non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI). Accordingly, this commentary discusses the importance of expanding the concept of NSSI recovery beyond cessation in both research and clinical domains. We conclude by presenting a person-centred and non-stigmatising conceptual reframing of recovery. Declaration of interest: None.
