Résumé
This study sought to increase understanding of the relationship between suicide and self-injury (SI). Advanced professional counselors were asked to discuss their conceptualizations of the relationship and how SI impacts clinical assessment and intervention. Data were collected via online survey. Analysis was conducted by a research team using qualitative content analysis. Categories identified were (a) the relationship between suicide and SI, (b) the functions of SI, (c) debate about the potential for elevated risk, (d) whether or not suicide risk should be assessed differently with clients who self-injure, (e) how SI may impact treatment planning and goals, (f) how professional counselors intervene with clients who self-injure, and (g) how SI is identified.
