Abstract

Adolescent self-cutting behaviours has a long been a problem in modern society. In this paper, the writer tries review six perspectives in interpreting adolescent self-cutting behaviours. Based on these six perspectives, the writer tries to re-conceptualise a multidimensional model on adolescent self-cutting behaviours. This model tries to include the family system, peer system and socio-cultural context in perceiving the antecedents, process and aftermath in adolescents' self cutting behaviours. The implications of this perspective to intervention with adolescents are also discussed.
