      Book Description

Checking and rechecking one’s appearance in the mirror may be more than mere vanity — it could be a sign of Body Dysmorphic Disorder. This condition can lead to unnecessary plastic surgery, serious eating disorders, steroid abuse, even suicide. The BDD Workbook offers a proven intervention plan and personal stories, exercises, charts, and worksheets to help readers recognize distorted self-perception and develop a balanced self-image.

      From the Publisher

Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) sufferers are so preoccupied with a particular aspect of their body, or with their body's shape or size, that they spend hours each day thinking about and checking on their supposed "deformity." BDD can lead to unnecessary plastic surgery, eating disorders, steroid abuse, and even suicide. In this step-by-step workbook, OCD experts guide readers through a proven intervention plan that helps them recognize the distortion in their self-perception, develop a healthier response to their body, find support, and enhance their self-image.
