“…There are numerous descriptions in single case reports of how a person showing selfinjurious behavior may seek "restraint", that is, will apparently endeavour to restrict their own responding. These behaviors have been termed 'self-restraint' and three broad categories have been identified by Isley Kartsonis, and McCurley (1991).
