Topics that are discussed include: the etiological contributors to non-suicidal self-injury, the common forms of treatment, the strengths and potential shortcomings of these treatments, and how these treatments can be improved to better incorporate family and interpersonal considerations. Treatment options regarding family and systemic interventions are also reviewed in order to help facilitate greater clinician confidence and competence in working with self-harming adolescents.
