“This book will make a great contribution to the body-focused repetitive behavior (BFRB) community. Its clear explanation of the comprehensive model for behavioral treatment (ComB) and step-by-step procedural instructions make it a user-friendly guide to reducing hair pulling or skin picking. The principles and methods are brought to life throughout via relatable case descriptions.”
—David A. F. Haaga, PhD, professor in the department of psychology at American University, and member of the Scientific Advisory Board of The TLC Foundation for Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors

“This comprehensive and practical guide to self-care is a godsend for people with BFRBs. The information and treatment techniques offered reflect well the extraordinary wisdom, skill, and down-to-earth styles of the authors, who know as much or more about this topic as anyone in the world. The treatment presented (ComB) is a well-studied, person-centered approach that allows readers to understand their own patterns of behavior and choose from a range of techniques that best match their experiences. Clinical vignettes and plenty of practical material bring this treatment alive for people suffering with BFRBs.”
