Summary
Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is the treatment of choice for people with body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). The first part of the chapter describes the clinical features and processes of BDD, and introduces an updated CBT model of the self as an aesthetic object that evolves around the notion that people with BDD experience distressing mental imagery of their disliked features, maintained by self-focused attention and safety-seeking behaviors. In the second part of the chapter, we present an updated assessment and treatment protocol to BDD. We use case material to illustrate how to engage clients and socialize them into a psychological way of working to overcome their appearance concerns. We illustrate assessment and formulation, how to set up effective behavioral experiments, how to conduct mirror retraining, imagery rescripting, and compassion-focused techniques. BDD screening and diagnostic measures are also presented.
