摘要

Nomenclature used to describe acts of self-harm without fatal consequences varies considerably. The term %26apos;non-suicidal self-injury%26apos; (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.
