Abstract
Self-injury is a common pathological behaviour and serious in its relational impact. Our present data collected mainly similarities with that of the literature. For cultural reasons, the self-mutilation in our sample is more linked to an impulse control problem than to childhood abuse. So the establishment of a system of care adapted to preserve the privacy of patients, understanding of self-harm, informing the general public and the early treatment of victims of abusive families seems essential to reduce expansion of this behaviour.
