Commentary: Considerations on the Characterization and Treatment of Self-Injurious Behavior.

Ernst, Monique

Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v30 n5 p447-50 Oct 2000

This commentary uses self-injurious behavior to illustrate the approach of the functional analysis of behavior as a guide to rational treatment strategies for individuals with autism, and to show that the characteristics of the clinical presentations can provide clues for underlying mechanisms that can be used for research and treatment.
