“…Outcomes are summed to then yield a severity index score. While the SIT scale has high face validity and does show promise in the area of tracking outcomes of interventions, even the developers caution its use as a “stand alone” method of assessment and progress monitoring 57. Other drawbacks of the SIT scale include: it is fairly time-consuming, the inability to utilize with other destructive behavior (eg, aggression) that may occur in combination with SIB, and the questionable utility of the risk estimates produced by the measure when compared to outcomes from a less time-consuming or formal evaluation 58…”

A key area of concern in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are self-injurious behaviors (SIBs). These are behaviors that an individual engages in that may cause physical harm, such as head banging, or self-biting. SIBs are more common in children with ASD than those who are typically developing or have other neurodevelopmental disabilities. Therefore, it is important that clinicians who work with children with ASD have a solid understanding of SIB. The purpose of this paper is to review the research on the epidemiology of SIB in children with ASD, factors that predict the presence of SIB in this population, and the empirically supported behavioral treatments available.

“…Quanto à avaliação de fotografias das áreas lesionadas da pele, os autores afirmaram que as fotos das áreas com escoriações na fase pós-intervenção foram melhor avaliadas do que aquelas tiradas das mesmas áreas na pré-intervenção. Dados semelhantes foram obtidos por meio da escala SITS (Self Injury Trauma Scale; Iwata, Pace, Kissel, Nau, & Farber, 1990).…”

RESUMOO transtorno de escoriação é definido por um excesso de comportamentos de arranhar, ferir ou esfolar a pele. Os comportamentos não estão relacionados a problemas no neurodesenvolvimento e provocam sofrimento emocional e prejuízos na vida social de quem os apresenta. Além de ser considerado um problema dermatológico, por afetar diretamente a pele e seus anexos, esse transtorno também apresenta características psiquiátricas, recebendo atenção de pesquisadores da área. Conduziu-se uma revisão bibliográfica em periódicos da saúde com os objetivos de identificar pesquisas aplicadas ou relatos de casos realizados com indivíduos com desenvolvimento típico que apresentassem escoriação, descrever as intervenções comportamentais empregadas e relatar os métodos e os resultados dos procedimentos. Uma pesquisa eletrônica foi realizada nas bases de dados PsycINFO, Web of Science, PubMed/MEDLINE e BVS com os seguintes descritores: 'escoriação', 'neurotic excoriation' ou psychogenic excoriation'. Esses foram combinados com 'behavioral treatment'. Dezoito artigos foram recuperados, catalogados e analisados qualitativamente a partir dos objetivos, métodos empregados e resultados das intervenções. Constatou-se que a maioria das pesquisas foi conduzida com adultos e adotaram-se estratégias e métodos da terapia de reversão de hábito e da terapia de aceitação e compromisso. Observou-se que essas intervenções foram efetivas para garantir redução da frequência da escoriação, porém com dificuldade na manutenção dos resultados na avaliação de seguimento. Sugerem-se futuras pesquisas com maior diversidade de variáveis e de participantes, bem como a avaliação funcional do comportamento de escoriação.Palavras-chave: transtorno de escoriação, escoriação psicogênica, skin picking, terapia de reversão de hábito, intervenção comportamental ABSTRACT Excoriation disorder is defined by excessive and recurrent behavior of scratching or injuring the skin. It is not related to neurodevelopment problems, it causes emotional suffering and it negatively affects the social life of those who present the condition. Besides being considered a dermatological problem, as it directly involves the skin and its attachments, the disorder is also a psychiatric condition that has been receiving attention from mental health researchers. A bibliographic review was conducted in health journals in order to identify applied studies and case reports with typically developing individuals that excoriate the skin, to present behavioral interventions employed as treatment, and to report the method and results of the adopted procedures. It was carried out an electronic search at PsycINFO, Web of Science, PubMed / MEDLINE and BVS databases using 'excoriation', 'neurotic excoriation' or 'psychogenic excoriation', combined with 'behavioral treatment', as descriptors. Eighteen articles were retrieved, cataloged and qualitatively analyzed based on their objectives, methods and results. It was found that most of the studies involved adults and used habit reversal therapy and ...

“…One of the first inventories to be developed for the assessment of self-injurious behaviors is the SITS created by Iwata, Pace, and Kissel (1990). It was created to evaluate the extent of tissue damage caused by self-injury.…”

“…It also permits differentiation of self-injury according to topography, location of the injury on the body, type of injury, number of injuries, and estimates of severity through evaluation of the injuries themselves. Test-retest reliability was reported at r = .68 (Iwata et al, 1990). This assessment was later used to evaluate self-injury in conjunction with physical pain as based on the proposition that the experience and expression of pain is somehow different among those individuals who self-injure, therefore leading to the acceptability and tolerability of self-injury as a behavior (Symons & Danov, 2005).…”

This article provides readers with an understanding of self-injury assessment. The article begins with a critical review of a number of self-injury assessments. The latter section of the article introduces a comprehensive two-tiered approach to accurately assessing self-injury. Implications for counselors related to the assessment of self-injury are also provided.Keywords self-injury, assessment, self-injurious behavior Self-injurious behavior is an increasing issue among adolescents and young adults. According to current research, self-injurious behavior occurs in 4% to 39% of adolescents in the general population and the numbers are predicted to rise, due to various reasons, ranging from levels and quality of social interactions with peers to the availability and assimilation of coping behaviors through access to the
