Self-mutilation and contagion: an empirical test

Abstract

Twenty-five subjects treated at a center for disturbed adolescents were observed over a 1-year period for signs of self-mutilative contagion. Statistical analysis confirmed that self-mutilation occurred in clusters throughout the year, suggesting that subjects imitated one another's behavior.
