AB  - Research has identified more than a dozen functions of non-suicidal self-injury 
      (NSI), but the conceptual and empirical overlap among these functions remains 
      unclear. The present study examined the structure of NSI functions in two large 
      samples of patients receiving acute-care treatment for NSI. Two different 
      measures of NSI functions were utilized to maximize generalizability of findings: 
      one sample (n = 946) was administered the Inventory of Statements About 
      Self-injury (ISAS; Klonsky and Glenn in J Psychopathol Behav Assess 31:215-219, 
      2009), and a second sample (n = 211) was administered the Functional Assessment 
      of Self-Mutilation (FASM; Lloyd et al. in Self-mutilation in a community sample 
      of adolescents: descriptive characteristics and provisional prevalence rates. 
      Poster session at the annual meeting of the Society for Behavioral Medicine, New 
      Orleans, LA, 1997). Exploratory factor analyses revealed that both measures 
      exhibited a robust two-factor structure: one factor represented Intrapersonal 
      functions, such as affect regulation and anti-dissociation, and a second factor 
      represented Social functions, such as interpersonal influence and peer bonding. 
      In support of the two-factor structure's construct validity, the factors 
      exhibited a pattern of correlations with indicators of NSI severity that was 
      consistent with past research and theory. Findings have important implications 
      for theory, research, and treatment. In particular, the two-factor framework 
      should guide clinical assessment, as well as future research on the implications 
      of NSI functions for course, prognosis, treatment, and suicide risk.
