This workshop is a 3-hour training that will focus on understanding and treating Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs) e.g. hair pulling, skin picking, nail and cheek biting.
This workshop will include a review of diagnostic criteria for BFRBs, an overview of their clinical presentation and related assessment, and a visual framework for conceptualizing BFRBs. There will be a focus on how the Comprehensive Behavioral Model (ComB), an evidence-based approach for treating BFRBs is implemented with child and adolescent clients.
Additionally there will be an overview of other evidence-based approaches that are also being used to enhance BFRB treatment e.g. Habit Reversal Training (HRT), Accpetance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI). Experiential activities, role-plays, sharing lived experience will be used to further application and synthesis of the information provided.
