Trichotillomania:
A Guide
Compulsive hair pulling, referred to as "trichotillomania,"
is a disorder that affects 1 to 2% of the population. It is a condition
that often begins in adolescence and continues into adulthood, but it
can begin in early childhood or later than adolescence, as well. Trichotillomania:
A Guide defines this disorder and provides information about the possible
causes and effective treatments. The main behavioral treatment for trichotillomania
known as "habit reversal" is described by the authors, and information
about how to find a therapist trained in this technique is included. Medications
are covered in a separate chapter. Updated in 1998, this publication covers
the most recent information known about trichotillomania and how it can
be treated.
