In my last post I wrote about a specific type of self-harm known as compulsive skin picking disorder and how, in the most serious cases, it can necessitate skin grafts to repair the severe damage done to the flesh.
In this post I want to look at the possible reasons why some people are driven to self-harm ( or, as its sometimes referred to as, self-mutilate).
First, it should be pointed out that those abused as children have a much higher than average chance of adopting self-harming behaviors
