A total of 29 fire\u2010setting and 22 self\u2010harm variables were analysed using Smallest Space Analysis (SSA). Chi\u2010square and Spearman's rho (\u03c1) analyses were used to determine functional consistency across behavioural modes.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results<\/jats:bold>\u2002Most women showed one predominant AST mode in fire\u2010setting (n = 39) and self\u2010harm (n = 35). Significant positive correlations were found between integrative and adaptive modes of functioning. The lack of correlation between conservative and expressive modes reflects the differing behaviours used in each activity. Despite this, significant cross\u2010tabulations revealed that each woman had parallel fire\u2010setting and self\u2010harm styles.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Discussion<\/jats:bold>\u2002Findings suggest that, for some women, setting fires and self harm fulfil a similar underlying function. Support is given to AST as a way of furthering understanding of damaging behaviours, whether self\u2010 or other\u2010inflicted.
