自我伤害

有意且直接地傷害身體組織的行為

自我伤害(英语:Self-harm),又称自伤自残(self-injury),是指有意且直接地伤害身体组织的行为,当事人一般没有自杀的意图[1][2][3]。无论是否有自杀意图, “自残”经常被滥用于任何有自我伤害的情况。[2][4] 较近期的文献多会使用“自我伤害”和“自伤”去取代较不中立的“自残”,特别是《精神疾病诊断与统计手册第五版》出版以后。

最常见的自残方法是使用尖锐的物体割破当事人自身的皮肤,但自残也包括各式各样的行为,包括自焚、划伤身体部位、把身体撞向硬物、用拳头或其他会造成伤害的物件打向自己、干扰伤口愈合(抠皮症)、拔毛(拔毛癖),以及摄入有毒物质[2][5][6]

物质滥用进食障碍一般不会视作自残,因为所造成的组织损伤通常都是无意的附加后果[7]。以及纹身和穿孔等社会可接受的身体修饰一也不被认为是自我伤害。[8]然而,相关定义的界线并不总是明确的:如果当事人故意以一些通常不视作自残的行为伤害自己,那么亦可界定为自残[7]

虽然自杀并不是自残者的意图,但自残与自杀之间存在着一段复杂的关系,因自残行为具有致命的潜在风险[9]。自残者拥有相对较高的自杀风险[5][10];40–60%的自杀者亦曾出现过一定程度的自残行为[11]。尽管如此,只有少数自残者有自杀倾向。仍不能归纳性地认定大多数自残者最终都会自杀[12][13]

有很多种疾病会导致“对自我伤害的渴求”。自我伤害是一些人格障碍的普遍症状。除此之外,有研究表明很多心理疾患的患者也会有该症状,包括抑郁症焦虑症自闭症谱系障碍创伤后压力综合征精神分裂症物质滥用、情绪障碍、进食障碍创伤后压力综合征精神分裂症解离障碍的人,以及经历性别焦虑症的人[2]。同时该研究证明自我伤害是自我惩罚功能的一种表现形式,根据研究自我伤害的动机可能是阶段性的反分离、反自杀、寻求感觉和人际关系影响, 根据个例不同, 自我伤害的动机各不相同[2]。在没有潜在心理健康诊断的高功能个体中也会发生自我伤害[14]。有些人将自我伤害用作因应,暂时缓解焦虑、抑郁、压力、情绪麻木或失败感等强烈情绪。自我伤害通常与创伤史有关,包括情感和性虐待[15] 有许多不同的手段可用于治疗自我伤害,这些手段有些是专注于治疗根本原因, 有些是治疗自我伤害行为本身。其他方法包括回避治疗,重点是让个人忙于其他活动,或用不会导致永久损害的更安全的方法取代自我伤害的行为。[16] 自我伤害往往始于青春期。在童年的自我伤害相对罕见,但自20世纪80年代以来,比例有所上升。[17]老年人也有可能有自我伤害的行为。[18]自残的老年人严重受伤和自杀的风险更高。[19]被人类的圈养动物中, 鸟类和猴子也被观察到有自我伤害行为。[20]关于自我伤害的一个常见观念是,这是一种寻求注意力的行为;在许多情况下,这个观念是错误的。许多自我伤害者对暴露自己伤口和疤痕非常在意,对自己的行为感到内疚,导致他们不遗余力地向他人隐瞒自己的行为。[21]他们可能会为自己的伤害找一些借口,或用衣服隐藏他们的伤疤。[22][23]

  8. ^ Klonsky 2007b,第1040页: "[B]ehaviors associated with substance and eating disorders—such as alcohol abuse, binging, and purging—are usually not considered self-injury because the resulting tissue damage is ordinarily an unintentional sideeffect. In addition, body piercings and tattoos are typically not considered self-injury because they are socially sanctioned forms of cultural or artistic expression. However, the boundaries are not always clear-cut. In some cases behaviors that usually fall outside the boundaries of self-injury may indeed represent self-injury if performed with explicit intent to cause tissue damage."
