The Effect of Clozapine on Self-Injurious Behavior.

Hammock, Ron G.; And Others

Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v25 n6 p611-26 Dec 1995

Clozapine, a neuroleptic drug, was used to complete a 93-week double-blind crossover trial with a 40-year-old male having profound mental retardation and sensory impairments and displaying self-injurious behavior (SIB) patterns. Findings suggest that clozapine could be an effective pharmacological intervention for some cases of SIB. (DB)
