It is maintained that from the burgeoning area of research on functional assessment and the behavioral and biological antecedents of SIB, to the role of Lesch-Nyhan syndrome and opioid peptides, the work of these foremost basic, applied, and behavioral researchers is sure to enhance fellow researchers', teachers', and clinicians' understanding of this condition.
