From the supplier: Self-mutilating behavior can be treated if the child or teenager is taught which stresses precede the behavior and how to release them safely. Self-mutilating behavior involves deliberately injuring the body, usually the skin. It often begins in adolescence and many teens were victims of physical or sexual abuse. Thus, it may result from guilt and a desire for punishment or as a way of relieving tension. It can be treated with cognitive and behavioral therapy.
