Non-suicidal self-injury v. attempted suicide: new diagnosis or false dichotomy?

Navneet Kapur et al. Br J Psychiatry. 2013 May.

Abstract

Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a term that is becoming popular especially in North America and it has been proposed as a new diagnosis in DSM-5. In this paper we consider what self-harm research can tell us about the concept of NSSI and examine the potential pitfalls of introducing NSSI into clinical practice.
