dc.description.abstract |
The incidence of self-mutilation is high among patients with eating disorders, antisocial personality disorder, and borderline personality disorder. To determine the incidence of self-mutilation among patients with dissociative disorders, the first one hundred consecutive adult dissociative disorder patients who were enrolled in a dissociative disorders clinic were evaluated for self-mutilation. Self-mutilation was a common occurrence among patients with multiple personality disorder (48%), psychogenic amnesia (29%), and dissociative disorder not otherwise specified (23 %). Often the patients were amnesic for the self-mutilation. The occurrence of amnesia or persistent denial of self-injury in anyone who engages in self-mutilation makes it imperative that they be screened carefully for evidence of dissociation. Four case histories are described and illustrated with photographs. |
