Introduction to Contemporary Practices in the Treatment of Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors

This is a live interactive webinar presentation.

Evidence-based psychological treatment approaches for Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs), including trichotillomania (hair pulling), excoriation disorder (skin picking), and other repetitive self-grooming behaviors, are based on a cognitive behavioral model of conceptualization. Although habit reversal training (HRT) has historically been considered the “gold standard” intervention, the treatment landscape has broadened to include the comprehensive model for behavioral treatment (ComB), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) – enhanced HRT. Despite these advances in treatment, successful long-term BFRB treatment outcomes remain challenging, and is an area of growth and development in the field. This workshop will discuss current evidence-based psychotherapeutic interventions, explore potential growth, and describe an integrative approach to behavioral intervention to enhance motivation and optimize treatment outcomes.

At the completion of the program, participants will be able to:

  • Describe the cognitive behavioral conceptualization of BFRBs
  • Discuss the evidence-base for the scope of CBT interventions for BFRBs
  • Identify potential areas of growth and development in improving treatment outcomes and further the understanding of this heterogeneous group of disorders
