Treating Trichotillomania: Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Hairpulling and Related Problems

Series in Anxiety and Related Disorders

by Martin E. Franklin, David F. Tolin

There is still scant clinical information on trichotillomania. This book fills the need for a full-length cognitive-behavioral treatment manual. The authors share their considerable expertise in treating body-focused repetitive behavior disorders (not only hair-pulling but skin-picking and nail-biting as well) in an accessible, clinically valid reference. This is the first comprehensive, clinical, and empirically-based volume to address these disorders.

Written for therapists, this book is excellent. Being read by a patient (?) is a little odd. It gives practice conversations between clinician and patient. It's heavy in statistics on things like type of hair and age of puller. Interesting stuff.
