Trichotillomania (TTM) is a complex disorder which involves at
least two levels of psychological functioning. At one level, it is
a habitual behaviour. This type of TTM involves 'automatic pulling'
and typically occurs without a person's awareness. The second type
of TTM is more closely related to emotional functioning or
regulation and is known as 'focused pulling'. Generally, it is
believed that most individuals with TTM exhibit both types of
pulling. THe most common treatment for TTM is Habit Reversal
Therapy (HRT), and its main focus is the habitual, or 'automatic'
aspect of the disorder. In this new treatment program, Drs Wood and
Twohig have designed a treatment which combines the basic aspects
of HRT with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to address the
'focused' aspects of the pulling. ACT seeks to alter the thoughts
and feelings surrounding the pulling, and removes the compulsive
aspect of the pulling urge, while HRT focuses on increasing the
awareness of the pulling and teaches the person to utilise a
competing behaviour instead of pulling. Together, these two
techniques work to decrease all incidents of pulling, and help the
client understand and come to terms with the emotional triggers of
their disorder. In a clinical setting, this combined treatment was
proven very effective, with high maintenance rates over a
three-month period. This treatment consists of 10 60-minute
sessions spread out over six weeks, with the final two sessions
taking place every two weeks to ease the client out of the
therapeutic environment and intrduce relapse prevention techniques.
This corresponding workbook will contain monitoring forms to help
the client maintain an awareness of their pulling, as well as
self-assessment tests and other homework exercises.
