Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs) are repetitive self-grooming behaviors, such as trichotillomania (hair pulling) and excoriation disorder (skin-picking), that fall within the scope of OCD and related disorders and are commonly comorbid with anxiety disorders. Although BFRBs are common, affecting as many as 1 in 20 individuals, accessing accurate information and evidence-based treatment resources can be challenging. This workshop will provide an overview of BFRBs, including the phenomenology, self-reinforcing nature of the disorders, current trends in evidence-based treatment, and resources for clinicians as well as for those living with these disorders.

Learning Objectives:
1. Discuss the prevalence and phenomenology of BFRBs
2. Discuss factors influencing the onset and maintenance of BFRBs
3. Describe evidence-based cognitive behavioral treatment for BFRBs
