説明
<jats:p> 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. </jats:p>
