PEGORARO, Renata Fabiana  e  VICENTIN, Maria Cristina Gonçalves. "I started to relieve the pain": some clues about self-harm in adolescents/young people. Psicol. pesq. [online]. 2022, vol.16, n.1, pp. 1-25. ISSN 1982-1247.  http://dx.doi.org/10.34019/1982-1247.2022.v16.32538.

To analyze the presence of self-harm practices without suicidal intent in the trajectory of adolescents / young people, medical records of people aged 12 to 24 years hospitalized from 2016 to 2018 were consulted and young people within the same age group, who underwent hospitalization in 2019 or 2020, were interviewed with the support of a thematic life story interview script. Multiple terms were identified to designate the cuts on the skin made by adolescents / young people, the relationship between actions of violence against themselves and the journey through health institutions, and self-harm as a way to relieve the pain not expressed in words.

Palavras-chave : Self-mutilation; Adolescents; Young People; Psychiatric Hospitalization; Medical Records.
