What are the best English words for self flagellation?

In the back of my mind, I’m almost certain there are at least several individual English words that means to punish one’s self. Is it a form of self-punishment? Are there such words? Clinical words are also acceptable (i.e. clinical with no use for a term) but are not accepted for oral presentation. Clinical words are accepted also. Psychological terminology.

Clinically, self-harm is classified into different categories, but there doesn’t seem to be one catch-all single-word term for it–just a collection of acronyms as outlined here from Wikipedia.

Self-harm (SH), also referred to as self-injury (SI), self-inflicted violence (SIV), non-suicidal self injury (NSSI) or self-injurious behaviour (SIB), refers to a spectrum of behaviours where An example of self harm/self-injury is cutting – this is the second most common form of self-harm in the UK. The term “self-mutilation” is also sometimes used, although this phrase evokes connotations that some consider worrrisome, inaccurate, or offensive.

I’ve heard a lot of people who cut themselves called as cutters. I make them the most important thing to have. Can we use an equation to understand what harmful effects that happen? What are the symptoms of bulimia, anorexia and trichotillomania, algolagnia etc.? Is there anything special about scarification, body modification or other specific terms, like genetic modification, etc?

Playing off of Jason Orendorff’s answer, the thesaurus entry for “Asceticism” gives some of these similar words:

  • austerity
  • aceration (hard word to find. Derivation from the word “acerate”, meaning
  • needle-like) Perhaps “stoicism” or

“stoic” is some word of it.
