Abstract

A combination of daily oral administration [on a cake] of a neurolepic [chlorpromazine] and provision of visual barriers cured a male from self-injurious behavior [at base of tail] and resulted in complete wound healing after 40 days. The self-mutilation behaviour was triggered by regular attacks from two other males.
