Norton, Christine Lynn
Abstract:
Self-injury among female adolescents has become an important clinical issue in social work practice. Anxiety has been cited as one of the primary reasons that self-injury occurs in this population. This paper explores the role of empathy in mitigating anxiety and helping with emotional regulation and highlights the need to empathically monitor the self-systems of female clients who self-injure. This paper considers issues of gender and family structure within this population and explores transference and countertransference as important processes that can help to develop empathy in the therapeutic relationship. A case study is presented to highlight these important processes. Implications for social work practice are discussed.
