A Content Analysis of Italian NSSI Web-sites

Non-Suicidal Self-Injury (NSSI) is a complex behavior. Many Web-sites devoted to NSSI are available and in this manuscript we have performed a content analysis, analyzing how NSSI is portrayed. From a clinical point of view, as suggested by Lewis and collaborators, the clinician while interviewing the patient should inquire about his/her online activities. More quantitative- based research is needed to shed light on this topic.
