Typical examples here might include self-cutting, burning, or self-hitting. Behavior of this kind is fundamentally unsettling as well as perplexing. It is also the case that self-harming behavior of any kind runs counter to a fundamental survival instinct. In the past, behaviors such as these were viewed as self-mutilation and considered to be a form of attenuated suicide. Much has changed over time, culminating in the entry of NSSI Disorder into DSM-5 as a condition in need of further study. In this review we describe the evolution of the NSSI construct and consider current issues in its diagnosis and assessment.Keywords: nonsuicidal self-injury; NSSI, NSSI disorder, self-harm, suicide, DSM-5, diagnosisHooley JMFox KRBoccagno CDove Medical Pressarticlenonsuicidal self-injury (nssi)nssi disorderself-harmsuicidedsm-5diagnosisNeurosciences.
