Psychoanalytic approaches to understanding self-injury

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter in a book

Abstract

Until the 1990’s few people with learning disabilities had access to counselling treatments to help them address emotional difficulties. Now these approaches are increasingly being considered to be useful to help people with learning disabilities address issues such as depression, anxiety, poor self-esteem, abuse or self-injury. In this chapter we primarily consider psychoanalytic theories to understanding self-injury, and relate this to the experiences of people with learning disabilities.
