The use of opiate antagonists for recurrent self-injurious behavior
Abstract
Despite a plethora of studies on the behavioral and pharmacologic treatment of self-injurious behavior, and despite our best efforts, many patients continue to harm themselves. The authors review the literature on the use of opiate antagonists for the treatment of self-injurious behavior.
