Papers on self injury
These papers are included because they shed some light on the issue of self injury. The inclusion of a paper here does not mean I agree with it!!
There is a file of two newspaper articles on self injury from early 2006 here
This list is growing! Last updated 9/3/2008. I'm trying to make this more comprehensive - email me if you become aware of any more things I could add.
If you haven't got the free Acrobat reader it can be downloaded from here. On the plus side it is a pretty robust download and I've never seen it go wrong, no matter how obsolete the computer is.
