Tough love for self harmers. See Nurses want self-harmers to be given fresh blades at www.allnurses.com You might like to examine what happens when a nurse refuses to give attention to person who self-harmed. The nurse declares this to be 'just an attention seeking gesture' and gives advice on what a genuine suicide attempter would have done. The patient is ignored, no questions asked, basic physical first aid administered. Next time, the patient does a thorough job and dies. The nurse says 'I really cared about that patient.' I would be very interested in any paper you write and am willing to share my resources if I have time.
