An Examination of Cutting and Other Methods of DSH among Children and Adolescents Presenting to an Outpatient Psychiatric Clinic in New Zealand

Sarah A. Fortune

University of Oxford, UK

This article explores the issue of cutting among children and adolescents presenting to an outpatient child and adolescent mental health service in New Zealand. Of interest is the extent to which children and adolescents who cut themselves also carry out other forms of deliberate self-harm (DSH). This study found that there was much cross over in the methods of DSH used and that cutters were not a distinguishable group. Therefore, those who present to mental health services with cutting need to be treated as carrying significant risk of fatality.

Key Words: children and adolescents • clinical population • deliberate self-harm
