Self-harm: Longer-term management

This UK guideline follows on from ‘Self-harm: the short-term physical and psychological management and secondary prevention of self-harm in primary and secondary care’ (NICE clinical guideline 16), which covered the treatment of self-harm within the first 48 hours of an incident. It is concerned with the longer-term psychological treatment and management of both single and recurrent episodes of self-harm, and does not include recommendations for the physical treatment of self-harm or for psychosocial management in emergency departments.
