Abstract

Of 8 psychiatrically referred patients with bruises and bleeding, self-injury was admitted in 2 cases and the means of self-injury were discovered in 6. All the patients were fairly young, single or unhappily married females, with unresolved emotional problems, most commonly sexual. 22 of 43 female haematology outpatients showed no haemostatic abnormality and were though to be seeking attention.
