Non-suicidal Self-Injury: Assessment and Conceptualization
Instructor: Kyle Ross, MA
This training is intended as an introduction for mental health clinicians to understand nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI), a behavior which presents across many clinical issues in mental health treatment. The course content will focus on defining NSSI, including its status as a ‘condition for further study’ in the DSM-5, and then developing skills to assess clients who present with NSSI behaviors. Participants will leave the course with knowledge about the behavior and specific theories to guide conceptualization and treatment. Participants will practice assessment skills and utilize a standard
assessment model to reduce the impact of bias from common misconceptions about the behavior. Finally, basic information about treatment approaches, ethical considerations, and treatment modalities will be presented to provide resources for further development.
