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.
越来越多的研究致力于理解哪些因素可能有助于停止自我伤害行为。尽管这些努力具有价值,但停止自我伤害只是自我伤害康复的一个方面。将排他性或主要重点放在停止自我伤害上,可能会让那些有非自杀性自我伤害(NSSI)实际经历的人产生不切实际的期望。因此,本评论文章讨论了在研究和临床领域将NSSI康复的概念从单纯的停止自我伤害进行扩展的重要性。我们通过提出一种以个人为中心且消除污名化的康复概念重构来结束本文。
