Abstract

The management of diverse types of self-mutilation is discussed with a particular emphasis on the selective use of open confrontation of the dissimulating patient with the self-inflicted nature of the lesions. Integration of psychotherapy with psychotropic drug treatment in self-mutilating patients is a necessity.
