In a society where a blemish or "bad hair" can ruin an otherwise
perfect day and airbrushed abs dominate the magazine rack, many of
us feel ashamed of our bodies. If dissatisfaction with your looks
is a distressing preoccupation, this compassionate book offers a
way to break free from the mirror. Harvard psychologist Sabine
Wilhelm leads you through a step-by-step program that helps you
fight the urge to spend hours "fixing" your skin and hair, working
out, or shopping for flattering clothes. Reality-check exercises
based on cognitive-behavioral therapy demonstrate how to identify
unfounded beliefs about your appearance. Once you understand the
negative thoughts and feelings that distort your self-image, you'll
be able to shed lengthy grooming rituals and overcome the
embarrassment that keeps you from enjoying life. With Dr. Wilhelm's
expert guidance, you'll learn to replace self-doubt and insecurity
with confidence and a positive outlook. Whether you've spent
thousands on plastic surgery or avoid trips to the beach, dating,
or socializing, you owe yourself this opportunity to make peace
with your looks. If you or someone you care about is struggling
with a body image problem, effective care is finally at hand.

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Body Dysmorphic Disorder.
Tourette syndrome (TS) is a chronic, neurobehavioral disorder of
childhood that has traditionally been treated with medication.
Although available, many mental health professionals are not
familiar with an effective behavioral therapy for tic disorders.
This therapist guide outlines a safe and scientifically proven
treatment that can help sufferers of TS and other tic disorders
effectively manage their tics and improve their quality of life.
The treatment described is an 11-session package for children and
adults (ages 9 and older). Psychoeducation about tic disorders is
blended with multiple components of behavior therapy, including
habit reversal training (HRT), relaxation training, and
function-based treatments. The primary goal of this program is to
teach the patient effective tic management skills rather than to
cure the tic disorder.
At the start of the program, you will work with your patient to
create a hierarchy of tics to be addressed in treatment. Each week,
a new tic will be targeted and an appropriate function-based
intervention implemented. Tic management skills are supplemented
with relaxed breathing and progressive muscle relaxation exercises
to help the patient combat anxiety. Relapse prevention and booster
sessions help reinforce the skills taught in therapy and give the
patient a positive outlook for the future.
Complete with step-by-step instructions for conducting sessions, as
well as lists of materials needed and copies of necessary forms,
this guide provides you with all the information you need to
effectively administer treatment.

If your child has Tourette Syndrome (TS), or any other chronic
motor or vocal tic disorder, you know how important it is to get
the best treatment available. Behavior therapy, as described in
this workbook, is a treatment for tic disorders that is
scientifically proven to help sufferers of TS manage their
symptoms.
This 11-session program involves helping your child become aware of
his tics and the situations that make them worse. In conjunction
with visits to a qualified mental health professional, your family
will learn to restructure your child's environment so tics occur
less frequently. With your help, your child will create a list of
tics to be addressed during treatment. Each week a new tic will be
targeted and your child will be taught specific exercises for
managing that tic. The program also includes relaxation techniques
designed to help your child combat anxiety and stress. Relapse
prevention strategies will help your family maintain progress and
keep your child motivated long after treatment has ended.
Complete with psychoeducational information, as well as
child-friendly forms and worksheets, this workbook will help your
family better understand TS and the ways you can effectively
support your child. The goal of this program is not to cure the tic
disorder, but to teach your child skills for managing tics well
into the future.
