Contents: Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) is defined as a preoccupation with a perceived defect in one’s appearance, which is not noticeable to others. The preoccupation is associated with a distorted felt body image with many “safety seeking” behaviours such as mirror gazing, skin-picking, ruminating or constant comparing of one’s perceived defect to others. People with BDD often use strategies to camouflage and avoid situations and activities. They may have a poor quality of life, are socially isolated and people with BDD are at high risk of committing suicide. Cognitive behaviour therapy and SSRI medications are recommended for treating BDD.
Learning Objectives: By the end of the seminar participants will:

  1. Recognize and diagnose BDD in DSM5 and planned ICD11.
  2. Recognize the presentation of BDD in genital body image.
  3. Understand a cognitive behavioural model of BDD and the factors that maintain the symptoms including comparing self with others; being excessive self-focused; camouflaging one’s appearance; checking, monitoring and avoiding social threats such as shame, rejection and ridicule from others.
  4. Assess and help clients wanting cosmetic procedures
  5. Understand factors in CBT with a focus on ceasing ruminating, comparing and checking, dropping of avoidance and safety seeking behaviours; and imagery rescripting for aversive memories.
