Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) continues to be of growing concern for community and school-based counselors. Conceptual and outcome-based articles typically focus on short-term cognitive behavioral interventions and NSSI behavioral indicators primarily concerning White, female clients. In furthering the discussion on working with self-injury from an Adlerian perspective, the authors conceptualize the use of an Adlerian-based treatment approach, specifically the use of Reflecting "As If," with a fictional Mexican American, male client in order to address two needs: (a) conceptualizing and treating NSSI holistically and (b) considering culturally normative messages related to gender and ethnicity that may influence the therapeutic process.
