Internet-delivered Cognitive-behaviour Therapy for Adolescents With Body Dysmorphic Disorder

"The treatment is Internet-delivered and therapist-guided, involving both the adolescent and at least one parent. The treatment consists of two separate sets of modules, one for the adolescent and one for the parent, each with separate logins. The ICBT intervention consists of 12 modules, delivered over a maximum of 14 weeks.~The main goal of treatment is to help the young person to stop avoiding anxiety-provoking situations by undertaking exposure tasks and to stop doing unhelpful repetitive behaviours and rituals, known as response prevention. Every module also contains homework tasks that mainly consists of exposure and response prevention (ERP).~Parents are also often involved in the patients' rituals and avoidant behaviours (known as family accommodation), which may contribute to maintain the BDD symptoms. Involving parents facilitates modification of these unhelpful patterns."
