Abstract
Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI), cognitive distortions and dissociation are understudied. Our new research suggests that cognitive distortions are positively associated with NSSI intrapersonal functions among dissociative individuals. Furthermore, dissociative symptoms were a mediator between a cognitive distortion related to preoccupation with danger and the use of NSSI to inhibit dissociation.
