Overview

We consider as serious manifestations in adolescence self harm and suicidal behavior. In clinical practice we meet adolescent patients with various comorbid psychopatology and problems of personality development. Cases need to be assessed individually and adequate treatment should be indicated.

Autors deal with autodestructive behavior in adolescence and the message is illustrated by case reports.

Keywords:

adolescence – Self harm – suicidal behavior – diagnostic and therapy
