abstract="Self-mutilation as addictive behaviour has been mentioned in a few studies in recent years. We present the case of a girl with narcissistic borderline personality disorder (DSM III-R: 301.83, 301.81), who undertook multiple, repetitive self-mutilating acts. Self-mutilation is discussed as addictive behaviour in this case. We emphasize the evaluation of repetitive self-mutilating acts by applying criteria for addictive and dependence disorders, in order to achieve additional adequate strategies for treating patients showing this behaviour.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
