What I am learning is that self-harm is common, but sometimes dismissed as mere attention-seeking. (There is a hugely obvious parallel here with sexual assault which I am just not getting into.)
They are probably also more closely related even than that. In a previous job I met a lot of women who had been sexually abused as children, and cutting was very common for them.
