Decision Points

This chapter illustrates how the authors treated a representative patient with body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) using both medication and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). The case example illustrates engagement strategies, treatment selection, implementation of recommended treatment strategies, approaches to some commonly encountered decision points, and possible solutions to frequently encountered treatment challenges. Following the case example, the authors comment on these issues. The chapter discusses approaches to patients who desire cosmetic treatment rather than mental health treatment. Factors involved in the decision to use CBT, pharmacotherapy, or both treatment modalities for BDD are also covered.

Significant Impairment

Adolescence is a critical time for physical development and maturation, and with these important physiological changes comes greater awareness of body image and appearance, which, for a proportion of young people can become excessive, signaling the onset of body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). BDD in adolescence is associated with significant impairment and suicidality, is poorly understood, and currently there is limited evidence for the effectiveness of psychological therapy. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is currently the most promising and best available psychological therapy for BDD in youth. The aim of this article is to provide clinicians with information on CBT treatment for BDD in young people and to provide guidance based on clinical experience of working with this complex population group. The article will include discussion of strategies including maximizing psychoeducation with parental involvement, the use of cognitive therapy techniques, exposure with response prevention, and perceptual visual training techniques, including attention training and mirror retraining.
