Treating Severe Self-injury in a Community Setting: Constraints on Assessment and Intervention
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 February 1998
Abstract
This paper describes attempts to implement a ‘functional analysis’ approach to the treatment of severe self-injurious behaviour in a 4-year-old boy living at home. Although a degree of success is reported, problems in systematically applying assessment and intervention procedures are described. The paper discusses the successes and limitations of such an approach in the home environment and in a crisis situation.
