The stress inoculation training management of self-mutilating behavior: a case study
A combination of techniques, based mainly on the stress inoculation training approach, was used to treat severe self-mutilating behavior in a 32-year-old woman who for 15 years had manifested different kinds of this type of behavior. In 18 therapy sessions over 6 weeks in a psychiatric inpatient setting she achieved complete control of the self-mutilating behavior. After a year of follow-up she was completely symptom free and had made additional social and personal gains.
