Series: American Journal on Mental Retardation 113 (5) 2008: 403-417.Publisher: 2008Content type: text Media type: unmediated Carrier type: volume Subject(s): SELF INJURIOUS BEHAVIOUR | FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS | ETIOLOGYSummary: Points out that the analysis of the early development of self-injurious behavior (SIB) has, to date, reflected the wider distinction between nature and nurture. Despite the status of genetic factors as risk markers for the later development of SIB, a model that accounts for their influence on early behavior-environment relations is lacking. Argues that the investigation of gene-environment interactions (GxE) and other forms of gene-environment interplay could potentially enhance current approaches to the study of self-injury. Presents a conceptual model of the early development of SIB based explicitly on such relations. Discusses the Implications for research and the assessment, treatment, and prevention of SIB.
