  • Somatoform Disorders

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)

Participants will receive a total of 22 sessions of individual, manual-based CBT. The CBT sessions will occur weekly during the course of the study. During the sessions, participants will receive education about BDD and CBT, engage in activities that help them confront their BDD, learn new ways of thinking about body image, and learn relapse prevention techniques.
