Abstract

Self-harm behavior is defined as the person\'s intentional, direct injuring of some body tissue or the whole body most often done without suicidal intentions. Mild types of self-mutilation is seen frequently however more severe ones are rarely seen. Severe self-mutilation is generally a sign of a serious psychiatric disorder and it can result in organ and/or organ functionality loss. In this study we aimed to present a schizophrenic patient with repetitive self-muti­lation. As a conclusion, practicing clinicians should take into consideration the possibility of self-harm behavior in schizophrenia patients especially if they have high risk properties.

Özet

Kendine zarar verme davranışı intihar amacı olmadan kişinin vücuduna ya da vücudun bir kısmına kasıtlı ola­rak zarar vermesidir. Kendine zarar verme davranışı ha­fif şekillerde görülürken bazen ağır şekillerde de kendini gösterebilmektedir. Ağır kendine zarar verme davranışı genellikle ciddi bir psikiyatrik rahatsızlığın göstergesidir ve organ ve/veya organ fonksiyon kaybı ile sonuçlanabilir. Biz burada tekrarlayan şekilde kendini yaralama davra­nışı gösteren bir şizofreni vakasını sunmayı amaçladık. Özellikle riskli şizofreni hasta gruplarında kendine zarar verme davranışı olasılığının göz önünde bulundurulma­sını önermekteyiz.
