Previous research has established associations among childhood trauma exposure, posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSSs), and adolescent nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI). In fact, numerous studies have suggested that PTSSs may serve as a mechanism linking trauma exposure and NSSI. However, studies to date have not utilized newer models of PTSSs that differentiate between symptoms of overmodulation and undermodulation. This study investigated associations among interpersonal and noninterpersonal trauma exposure, posttraumatic overmodulation and undermodulation, and NSSI in a sample of justice-involved youth.
