Self-mutilation can be viewed as addictive behavior. Evaluating these repetitive acts using addiction criteria may improve treatment strategies for patients with personality disorders.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Psychology
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Self-mutilation is increasingly recognized as a behavior with addictive qualities.
  • Understanding the addictive nature of self-mutilation is crucial for effective intervention.

Observation:

  • A case study of a young female diagnosed with narcissistic borderline personality disorder is presented.
  • This patient exhibited multiple, repetitive self-mutilating acts.

Findings:

  • The study explores self-mutilation as a manifestation of addictive behavior.
  • Applying criteria for addictive and dependence disorders to self-mutilating acts is proposed.

Implications:

  • This approach may lead to more adequate treatment strategies for individuals engaging in self-mutilation.
