Research suggests that body image is significantly influenced by sociocultural variables such as beauty ideals and/or ethnicity. As such, elucidating sociocultural variables such as race and ethnicity in relation to body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is important to understanding and treating this condition. This chapter reviews perceptions of body image in BDD, body areas of concern in BDD, BDD-related behaviors, and barriers to care as they relate to race and ethnicity in individuals with BDD. Relationships between identity variables and BDD are illustrated using a case example. Modifications for cognitive-behavioral therapy for BDD are suggested when working with diverse populations. Areas for future research are outlined.

Decision Points

This chapter illustrates how the authors treated a representative patient with body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) using both medication and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). The case example illustrates engagement strategies, treatment selection, implementation of recommended treatment strategies, approaches to some commonly encountered decision points, and possible solutions to frequently encountered treatment challenges. Following the case example, the authors comment on these issues. The chapter discusses approaches to patients who desire cosmetic treatment rather than mental health treatment. Factors involved in the decision to use CBT, pharmacotherapy, or both treatment modalities for BDD are also covered.
