Implementing CBT for Body Dysmorphic Disorder
Webinar recording now available
Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) is a typically misunderstood but prevalent psychiatric disorder, which has historically received limited attention in the body image and Eating Disorder field.
This one-day workshop provided a thorough overview of BDD, focusing on practical skills to implement psychological assessment and intervention, through a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) lens. The webinar recording includes case studies, role plays, and practical skill building exercises, covering the following content:
Assessing for the presence and severity of BDD symptoms, including muscle dysmorphia, and differential diagnosis of BDD, eating disorders and body image concerns
Implementing a range of key CBT techniques including ritual/response prevention, behavioural experiments and exposure hierarchies
Learning and practising targeted body image strategies, including mirror retraining, reducing body checking and self-acceptance skills
