Editorial Reviews

Product 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good start when not ready to seek help, March 16, 2006
By Jean-Lou (France) - See all my reviews
I've already read this book twice, it's a very good support when I feel overwhelmed by my body obsessions, its best point is that it made me feel that I'm strong enough to gradually change. Everytime I doubt I read some specific passages to put be back on the track.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Workbook That Actually Works!, June 13, 2008
I was diagnosed a little over a year ago with BDD. It is still highly unrecognized, even in the mental health field. I was misdiagnosed for years; thus, I received improper treatment.

This workbook really delves into the thought processes of a person who suffers from this exhausting illness. The worksheets and exercises really cause you to challenge the beliefs which have been engrained in your memory for decades.

I would highly recommend this workbook for anyone who is looking to become stronger without the use of narcotics.

5.0 out of 5 stars At last..., August 13, 2007
As a parent of a BDD sufferer, I was pleased to read through the workbook before presenting it to our family member. If read and followed, it should help with any one in BDD's grip.
