Utilizing DBT Skills to Augment Traditional CBT for Trichotillomania: An Adult Case Study
Keuthen, Nancy J.; Sprich, Susan E.
Cognitive and Behavioral Practice, v19 n2 p372-380 May 2012
Traditional cognitive-behavioral interventions for trichotillomania have had modest acute treatment outcomes and poor maintenance of gains over time. Techniques adopted from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) can potentially enhance treatment outcomes by specifically addressing issues of impulsivity, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance. In this paper we discuss the application of a DBT-enhanced treatment and its outcome in a single-case study. (Contains 1 table and 5 videos.)
