Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled A case-control study of attachment style in deliberate self-harm patients: a systemic perspective submitted by Shuk-ching, Corina Fung for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Hong Kong in September 2006 Objectives: Although research studies have identified a number of risk factors for deliberate self-harm, little empirical research has examined the role of adult attachment style in deliberate self-harm using a systemic perspective. The purpose of this study is to examine the risk of deliberate self-harm in relation to attachment style, caregiver experience and anger expression. Method: The attachment style, anger expression, and caregiver experience of 40 adult deliberate self-harm patients and their intimate partners were assessed using self-report questionnaires. The ratings were then compared with 52 matched control subjects who have no history of self-harm. Results: Results provided support for the role of attachment in self-harm behavior. Specifically, this study found a significant relationship between parental control, attachment related anxiety and a tendency to express anger inward in self-harm patients. Categorical analysis indicated significant group difference between the case and control group in parental care, anger expression, and attachment- related anxiety. Self-harm patients were significantly more likely to experience low parental care in their childhood experience and to have higher attachment-related anxiety than the control group. In addition, self-ham patients' intimate partners also reported significantly more depressive symptoms and attachment related anxiety in comparison to the control group. After controlling for depressive symptoms, attachment related anxiety remained a significant predictor of self-harm behavior. Conclusion: The findings of this study provided some support that treatment with deliberate self-harm patients might specifically target attachment and anger expression to reduce risk for future suicidal behavior. Parental training that aims at reducing control and increasing care might also be promoted as a primary prevention for self-harm behavior. Limitations of the study and future directions for deliberate self-harm research were discussed. ii DOI: 10.5353/th_b3703053 Subjects: Attachment behavior Interpersonal relations Self-mutilation - Risk factors Self-injurious behavior - Risk factors
