This study explores issues of gender convergence and divergence using an international sample of inmates who engage in recidivistic SIB. Male and female respondents expressed similar pathways to a life-long reliance on SIB as a coping mechanism that originates within abusive childhood milieus. Female respondents interpreted self-injury to have complex functions and placed a premium on relationships as a means towards desistance. Males were more likely to utilize SIBs as an expression of rage, using isolation as a masculine-based response to early trauma, and had little hope of desistance. Prisons appeared to reinforce gender-differences by their institutional response to SIBs. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
