Researchers concluded that “viewing self-harm images online may have both harmful and protective effects, but harmful effects predominated in the studies.”
Experts looked at 15 existing studies and concluded that viewing such material does more harm than good, with all the studies finding harmful effects.
Writing in the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, the researchers concluded: “Viewing self-harm images online may have both harmful and protective effects, but harmful effects predominated in the studies.” “I believe that the results of our review provide evidence that is helpful for the current debate on influences of viewing images of self-harm online and in social media. This needs to be supplemented by more in-depth research.”
Last September, a British coroner ruled schoolgirl Molly Russell died from “an act of self-harm while suffering from depression and the negative effects of online content”.
