Feel free to print out and use anything on this site. I've gotten email from therapists who've found some pages useful for their clients, and from people who have found using printouts from this site a useful way to help explain their self-injury. If you do this, please give the site URL (http://www.selfharm.net is the easiest to remember) on the printout. A name credit (copyright 1996-2001 Deb Martinson or by Deb Martinson) would be nice but not necessary. This permission extends to large numbers of copies, but does not include commercial use -- I don't make money off of this site and I'd rather no one else did. This information should be freely available to anyone who needs it.
I'm not sure if the APA has an approved way for citing works published on-line. If you're using material gathered here in a paper or presentation and are unsure how to credit it, I'd suggest:
Martinson, D. (1998). <title of specific page you're citing>. http://<address of specific page you're citing>. World-wide Web.If you want more information, please contact me. Thanks.
