| dc.description.abstract | Self-injury is a frequent and serious problem for individuals with autism and developmental disabilities. This paper summarizes the clinical and empirical evidence pertaining to self-injury, and highlights valid theories and treatment options. Unlike most reviews of self-injury, the present one pays particular attention to the impact that research has made within the field of autism treatment. The importance of prospective large-scale research is stressed to support the development of treatments that should alleviate or even prevent the primary causes of self-injurious behaviour. This review aims to impart readers with an unambiguous conceptualization of self-injury and hopes to stimulate further research within the field. | en_US |
