Body Dysmorphic Disorder: Seven Cases Treated with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing

Abstract: Body dysmorphic disorder is an illness of generally chronic course which can lead to significant impairment of social functioning, unnecessary plastic surgery and even suicide. It is little understood and treatment regimens have been of uncertain efficacy. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is a newly developed psychotherapeutic procedure used in the treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder, grief reactions and generalized anxiety. In this paper we describe its use in seven consecutive case… Show more

“…Case reports have been published on the application of EMDR to the treatment of (a) personality disorders (Fensterheim, 1996a;Korn & Leeds, in press;Manfield, 1998), (b) dissociative disorders (Fine & Berkowitz, 2001;Lazrove & Fine, 1996;Paulsen, 1995;Twombly, 2000), (c) a variety of anxiety disorders (De Jongh & Ten Broeke, 1998;De Jongh, Ten Broeke, & Renssen, 1999;Goldstein & Feske, 1994;Lovett, 1999;Nadler, 1996;Shapiro & Forrest, 1997) and (d) somatoform disorders (Brown, McGoldrick, & Buchanan, 1997;Grant & Threlfo, 2002). However, controlled research is needed to evaluate the efficacy of these applications.…”

“…For instance, Brown et al (1997) evaluated the application of EMDR in seven consecutive cases of Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), which has been reported to necessitate 8 to 20 sessions of cognitive behavior therapy with varying success rates (Neziroglu, McKay, Todaro, & Yaryura-Tobias, 1996;Veale et al, 1996;Wilhelm, Otto, Lohr, & Deckersbach, 1999). In contrast, Brown et al reported the elimination of BDD in five of the seven consecutive cases in one to three sessions of EMDR through the processing of the etiological memory.…”

“…Bu EMDR'nin ORS'deki etkinliği açısından çok ilginç bir bilgidir. Aynı yazarlar, EMDR'nin beden dismorfik bozukluğunda da başarılı sonuçlar ortaya koyduğunu belirtmiştir (Brown 1997) Buradan hareketle ORS'nin oluşumunda TSSB oluşumundakine benzer bir psikonörobiyolojik sürecin rol oynayabileceğini savunmuşlardır. Ne yazık ki ORS'de EMDR etkinliği hakkında kaleme alınmış tek makale budur.…”

“…It is important to emphasize that memories of even ubiquitous events appear to set the foundation for a wide range of pathologies. For instance, the onset of both body dysmorphic disorder (Brown et al 1997) and olfactory reference syndrome (McGoldrick et al 2008) were reported to be childhood humiliations, and the symptoms were eliminated after one to three EMDR memory processing sessions. Although EMDR can successfully address the overt symptoms associated with a variety of clinical diagnoses, its overarching goal is to achieve an alteration of the underlying condition that is generating the dysfunctional response in the present as part of a comprehensive treatment effect.…”
