Abstract

This research aims at identifying the risk factors that influence the vulnerable population into producing acts of relapsing non-lethal self-injury. It is generally accepted that the relapse of the non-lethal aggressions increases the risk of the suicide. In our research, the patients relapsing most frequently are male, residents of urban areas, most often without a job; we can thus consider these variables risk factors for the relapse of the non-lethal self-injury. As regards the preference for a particular method, at the first attempt the patients ingested drugs, a method that they frequently use again also in the relapse.
