Abstract

Background: Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is common among adolescents and is often associated with suicidal behaviour. NSSI generally functions as a dysfunctional emotion regulation strategy maintained by shame and self-criticism. Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) aims to modify these processes through developing self-compassion.
