Self-injurious behavior is a subject that is increasingly in evidence due to its high incidence in adolescents. In the Behavior Analysis perspective, this phenomenon can be understood by the use of functional analysis that detects the antecedents, the response (the behavior), and the consequences of the self-injurious identifying what can maintain this behavior (positive, negative, automatic reinforcement). This paper intends to investigate the effect of functional analysis in adolescents who have self-injurious conduct. The research was carried out in a public in Belém do Pará with a participant. The intervention took place in individual weekly meetings to carry out the functional analysis of self-injurious behavior, aiming at expanding the adaptive repertoire, especially with regard to dealing with aversive situations. During the meetings there was also the measurement of the ideation behavior of getting hurt. The design used in the research was a case study that pointed out positive consequences for reducing the frequency of self-injurious behavior and also in reducing the ideation of inappropriate thoughts.
