4/End: Key future directions for NSSI by proxy: identifying links to and similaries or differences (e.g., behavior functions) between this and other NSSI behaviors & incorporating the role of the proxy into treatment. Stay tuned for more work on this in the future!
3/X: 4 by proxy behaviors are: initiating injury via 1) tattooing or body piercing; 2) an animal; 3) sexual activity w/ a partner; & 4) instigating a physical fight. Initiating injury via sports or by engaging in elective/ cosmetic medical procedures may also meet the definition.

New article led by Adam Mann on NSSI by proxy (behaviors that while self-directed are other-inflicted). This is a unique, clinically relevant form of NSSI that is not explicit in our current NSSI definitions. Free link - onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… - and a quick preview 🧵:

Grad student Zach Demoss will present at the Suicide Research Symposium #SRS22 tomorrow, 6/16, @ 1:30pm! Existing fearlessness about death (FAD) measures are limited; there is initial support for the use of an FAD implicit measure to understand suicide risk. Stop by & say hello!
New 2-wk daily diary publication led by Dr. Chris Berghoff on the context of daily stressors in those with and without past yr NSSI. The NSSI group had greater negative emotion after a stressor, which was lessened by a positive interpersonal experience. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
