Abstract
Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is defined as deliberately damaging one’s body, occurring without suicidal intent and not socially sanctioned. In a series of studies, we explore the role of traumatic events and their centrality (extent to which it defines other experiences in a person’s life) on NSSI, coping, and emotion regulation.
