Abstract
Self-injury without the intent of suicide, defined as the direct and deliberate destruction of body tissues with no suicidal intent, has grown in clinical significance and study over the last two decades. According to research, this behavior is very common through adolescence, and it is thought to be a coping strategy for dealing with and managing intense negative emotions. The physical and psychological changes that occur during this time, which act as distressing factors, place adolescence at the core of studying this behavior, while personal history may also affect the degree of this distress. The importance of early relationships with parents and developmental experiences in predicting adolescent self-injury behavior has been established. The current study reviews previous studies on the relationship between childhood maltreatment and self-injury behavior, emphasizing explanatory and functional theories. Also, national studies were reviewed in the end, but despite the prevalence of four to five percent among Iranian adolescents, self-injury appears to be overlooked by national researchers.

Abstract
This research was carried out with the purpose of investigating the mediating role of perceived burdensomeness and suicidal ideation in the relationship between parent-adolescent conflict and non-suicidal self-injury. The research statistical population was 224,400 high school students in Tehran in the year 2018-2019. 420 students were selected via sampling cluster random method and Beck scale for suicidal ideation (Beck, Kovacs and Weissman, 1979), self-harm inventory (Sansone, Wiederman, Sansone and Touchet, 1998), conflict behavior questionnaire (Robin and Foster, 1989) and Interpersonal needs questionnaire (Van Orden, Kukrowicz, & Witte & Joiner, 2012) responded. The results of the path analysis showed that parent-adolescent conflict has a significant indirect effect on non-suicidal self-injury through suicidal ideation and perceived burdensomeness. In addition, parent-adolescent conflict, perceived burdensomeness, and suicidal ideation had the ability to explain 36% of the variance of non-suicidal self-injury. Based on the results of the research, it can be concluded that reducing the perceived burdensomeness, and suicidal ideation, and resolving parent-adolescent conflicts can have an effective role in reducing non-suicidal self-injury.

Abstract
The aim of the research investigate the mediating role of difficulties in emotion regulation and personality organization in the relationship between object relations and non-suicidal self-injury of students. This research was a fundamental and descriptive correlation study. The statistical population consisted of all students of the Islamic Azad University, Mashhad branch in 2022, among them 451 were selected by convenience sampling method. Participants answered the test of object relations-short form (TOR-SF; Barberis et al. 2020), inventory of personality organization (IPO; Igarashi et al. 2009), difficulties in emotion regulation scale short form (DERS-SF; Kaufman et al. 2016) and self-harm inventory (SHI; Sansone et al. 1998). The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The results showed that the model is a good fit. The direct effect of object relations (P<0.05), difficulties in emotion regulation (P<0.01), and personality organization (P<0.01) on non-suicidal self-injury is not significant. The indirect effect of object relations with the mediation of difficulties in emotion regulation and personality organization on non-suicidal self-injury is significant (P<0.01). The difficulties in emotion regulation and personality organization can play an indirect role in increasing the effects of object relations on non-suicidal self-injury. The use or development of appropriate educational and therapeutic interventions in this field can help reduce non-suicidal self-injury.

Abstract
The present study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of self-compassion‐focused therapy and emotionally-focused couple therapy on self-injury among women with domestic violence. This research was a semi-experimental type of research with a pre-test, post-test, and 2-month follow-up period with a control group. Based on this, 60 women with domestic violence referred to the welfare of Tehran city in 2022 were purposeful sampling selected and randomly assigned to groups (20 women in each group). To collect information, an inventory of statements about self-injury (ISAS) by Klonsky and Glenn (2009) was used and The research data was analyzed by mixed variance analysis (with repeated measurements). The results showed that in the post-test, there was a significant difference in self-injury between the two interventions (P<0.05).
On the other hand, a statistically significant difference was reported between two interventions with the control group (P<0.05). In other words, both methods have an effect on reducing self-injury and these two interventions significantly differ in effectiveness on this variable in women; These results were also seen in the follow-up of both interventions (P<0.05). It is concluded that both two interventions were able to reduce self-injury, But emotionally focused couple therapy was more effective in reducing self-injury; Therefore, emotionally focused couple therapy can be used in the treatment of women with domestic violence.

Abstract
This research was conducted to determine the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy on the self-concealment of adolescents with a history of self-injury admitted to the psychiatric ward of the hospital. The research method was a single case (A-B-A) with multiple baselines and a one-month follow-up period. The statistical population of the research was adolescents aged 14 to 19 years admitted to the psychiatric department of Baqiyatullah Azam Hospital in Tehran in 2021-2022. 4 people were selected from the statistical population by purposive sampling method. A Self-concealment questionnaire (SCS, 1990) and a list of self-injurious behaviors (ISAS, 2009) were used to collect data. After multiple baselines for each adolescent, an individualized intervention program was presented in 8 90-minute sessions. The data were analyzed using a reliable analysis method and with the help of graphs. The results showed that after receiving training, the participants' scores in self-concealment and self-injury decreased for each participant. Based on the results, treatment based on acceptance and commitment is effective in reducing self-concealment and self-injury in hospitalized adolescents.
