Sammanfattning
Self-harm is prevalent in non-psychiatric populations as well as in psychiatric settings, and is common in patients with most psychiatric diagnoses. Persons
with self-harm behaviour can be incorrectly diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. There is support for self-harm having an emotion regulating function.
Most treatments for self-harm are lengthy and comprehensive and have been developed primarily for persons with borderline personality disorder. Emotion
Regulation Group Therapy is an exception, and is given in the form of 14 sessions of group therapy. Persons who self-harm and do not fulfil formal criteria for
having a borderline personality disorder are at risk for not receiving effective treatment for self-harm.
