Reducing anticipated non‐suicidal self‐injury by improving body esteem in individuals with weight suppression: A proof of concept study

Abstract

Research suggests that weight suppression (WS) is linked to non‐suicidal self‐injury (NSSI) and that drive for thinness and depression may explain this association. We conducted a proof‐of‐concept study using a randomized control trial design to determine if improving body esteem and reducing depressive symptoms reduced NSSI in individuals with WS.
