Beare, Paul L.; Severson, Susan; Brandt, Patricia – Behavior Modification, 2004
The exhibition of stereotypic and self-injurious behavior (SIB) combined with a lack of work engagement makes it very difficult to place a person with severe disabilities in an integrated work environment. The purpose of this research was to examine use of a positive procedure to increase engagement on-task and reduce self-injurious slapping and…

Relapse rates were high; only 8% were entirely free of gambling during the 12-month follow-up. Relapses were highly variable but occurred most frequently in the evening, when the person…

Quantifying Temporal Distributions of Self-Injurious Behavior: Defining Bouts versus Discrete Events
Kroeker, Rose; Touchette, Paul E.; Engleman, Laszlo; Sandman, Curt A. – American Journal on Mental Retardation, 2004
An objective method is presented to group discrete self-injurious behavior (SIB) events into bouts. Survival analysis was used to determine how long after an SIB the probability of observing a subsequent SIB remained elevated. This estimated bout length criterion time point was determined individually for 19 subjects with developmental disorders…

Dykes, Michelle; Specian, Victoria; Nelson, Meredith; Gray, Neal – Journal of School Counseling, 2006
Self-injurious behavior is the intentional harming of one's own body. Little attention has been given to SIB in the past, particularly in terms of innovative treatment approaches. Adolescents are at a particularly high-risk for developing this ineffectual coping mechanism. School counselors are in a unique position to aid in the identification of…

Best, Ron – British Journal of Guidance & Counselling, 2006
Acts of deliberate self-harm (DSH) by adolescents are thought to be on the increase. Many of those who self-harm are of school age and it is to be expected that schools (and their teachers) will be aware of the problem and will respond appropriately as part of their pastoral-care provision. However, a recent survey of research in pastoral care and…

Gibb, Brandon E.; McGeary, John E.; Beevers, Christopher G.; Miller, Ivan W. – Suicide and Life-Threatening Behavior, 2006
There is growing evidence that a functional polymorphism in the serotonin transporter gene (5-HTTLPR) moderates the impact of negative life events (e.g., childhood abuse) on the development of depression. However, it is unclear whether the gene x environment interaction predicts suicide attempts specifically. In addition, previous studies have not…
