[quote=Anonymous]OP, my DD used to cut herself as well. She is 17 now, so she and your DD are peers. I think the advice for inpatient treatment is WAY too intense. She told you about this bad, deep cut, you responded appropriately and it sounds like she already has a professional support system in place. Bring her home, watch her carefully, obviously get in to an appointment with her psychiatrist (does she have a counselor/pyschologist too? In my limited experience, even good psychiatrists are not great with the 'talk therapy' part of therapy) and as another PP suggested, maybe get out of town for a few days. The whole inpatient thing sounds WAY too much. Cutting is not suicidal -- it's a totally different, albeit very scary, behavior and reaction. Good luck. My heart goes out to you and your family.
