Given that, is what we are seeing here actually an equivalent of providing needless to drug addicts to help prevent the spread of disease?

I can see how on a basic look it does seem to be absolutely mental, but I know nothing of the psychology of those that self harm, and if the above quote represents our best knowledge on helping people who are self harming, surely it is better that it happens in a controlled fashion than in other ways where physical side affects may be much worse.

The principle of providing addicts with clean needles is a good thing, though do those that self harm actually swap razor blades? It is not as if they are hard to get. What these people need is to talk to a therapist of some kind, not fresh razor blades.
