“…However, the smaller-scale survey data that are available suggest that TTM is much more prevalent than previously reported (e.g., Adam & Kashani, 1990). In a community-based prevalence study of 218 adults, 4% of those surveyed reported current or past hair pulling in a manner consistent with TTM, although not necessarily meeting diagnostic criteria (Graber & Arndt, 1993).…”

Accordingly, our goal in this section is to lay out the structure of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for trichotillomania (TTM) and other body-focused impulse control disorders, clearly explaining critical decisions such as the chosen sequence of techniques or whether a given technique is considered a core component or a module to be used in some but not all cases. The structure of this particular book is influenced by the work of experts who have gone before us in pioneering CBT for TTM, and is also informed by over a decade of our own clinical work and research on TTM across the developmental spectrum. We are indebted to those who developed this approach to treatment and also to those who built the extant literature on the psychopathology of TTM and related disorders. These clinicians and researchers did so in order to help alleviate the suffering of those afflicted with these conditions, and we endeavor to follow in their footsteps in continuing this important work.One of the first decisions we needed to make about the book's emphasis was whether to create a treatment guide that focused primarily on the treatment of adult TTM with a separate chapter on developmental adjustments needed to conduct CBT with children and adolescents. We chose not to do this for several reasons: 1) much of our work with TTM in the last decade has been with youth, and we felt that our experiences with this population warranted more discussion than was feasible in a single chapter; 2) although there is a clear need to adapt treatment to the developmental level of the patient, the underlying core principles cut across the developmental spectrum and hence were more efficiently considered together; and 3) TTM is typically a pediatric onset disorder, and thus its treatment should be given equal weight compared to the treatment of adults. We encourage therapists with an interest in CBT for TTM but have worked primarily with adults to consider seeking additional training, supervision, and clinical experience in treating youth: there is a serious problem with treatment access for TTM in general, but this problem is particularly pronounced for families seeking help for their children.The book is organized into four subsections: 1) Overview and Assessment; 2) Treatment: Core...

“…Greenberg and Sarner (1965) regard hair pulling as a function of multiple xation points at all levels of psychosexual development. It has been related to separation anxiety (Adam and Kashani 1990). Stein et al (1995) suggest that there is some evidence that hair pulling may manifest in speci c family constellations, particularly antagonistic mother-daughter relationships, but studies are inconclusive.…”

Reviews of research evidence suggest that speci c types of therapy are likely to be useful in treating particular types of disorder. Thus, the present commitment to evidence-based practice may mean that clients are automatically allocated to the treatment of choice according to formal research evaluation, purely on the basis of their presenting problems. This case study of two female clients referred for psychological therapy for trichotillomania illustrates the need to consider clients' general functioning and wider social context when decisions are made regarding the most appropriate mode of intervention. Contrary to expectations in accordance with research evidence, the client who participated in psychodynamic therapy had a successful outcome in terms of dramatic symptom reduction and improvement in general functioning. This client's outcome was, however, consistent with predictions made in the light of information from her repertory grid and her scores on measures of personal style. The client who participated in cognitive-behaviour therapy dropped out of therapy after ve sessions. Clues as to why she may have done so are apparent both from her repertory grid, and from the transcript of her fth therapy session. This paper illustrates the utility of the repertory grid in identifying aspects of client functioning which may be useful in matching clients to therapies.
