"BDD entails substantial suffering and requires skilled therapeutic
intervention. This unique treatment manual lives up to the stellar
reputations of Wilhelm, Phillips, and Steketee. Their systematic
treatment is science based, clinically informed, and practitioner
friendly. The manual is generous in its provision of reproducible
handouts and assessment tools, and it wisely guides therapy that is
tailored to the individual client’s needs."--Thomas F. Cash, PhD,
Department of Psychology (Emeritus), Old Dominion University
"Wilhelm, Phillips, and Steketee are among a small handful of
internationally recognized authorities on the etiology and
treatment of BDD and related conditions. It is next to impossible
to think of a better qualified group of authors for this definitive
treatment manual."--David B. Sarwer, PhD, Departments of Psychiatry
and Surgery, Perelman School of Medicine at the University of
Pennsylvania
"BDD is a common and often crippling psychiatric disorder, yet too
frequently it is not diagnosed or not competently treated. This
book fills a critical niche by providing concrete, hands-on
guidance for conducting state-of-the-art cognitive-behavioral
therapy for BDD. The guidelines in this book will be accessible and
useful for a wide range of readers, from students just beginning
their training in behavioral therapies to seasoned professionals
who are already experienced with BDD. An invaluable addition to the
field."--Harrison G. Pope Jr., MD, Department of Psychiatry,
Harvard Medical School
"This essential, richly detailed guide is written at a level of
specificity that will enable even the clinician new to working with
BDD to be comfortable implementing the strategies. The manual also
provides a concise review of the scientific basis for the approach.
All clinicians who treat patients with BDD or other clinically
meaningful body image disturbances now have a go-to guide to add to
their clinical bookshelves."--J. Kevin Thompson, PhD, Department of
Psychology, University of South Florida
"Helping patients accept that their problem is psychological rather
than medical is a daunting prospect that is at the heart of
treatment for BDD. This book encapsulates the wisdom from extensive
clinical experience. It provides the therapist with an
evidence-based map for navigating the challenges of this disorder,
and has relevance for treating other obsessive-compulsive problems
as well."--Janet Treasure, PhD, FRCP, FRCPsych, Director, Eating
