Theoretical Approaches to Psychological Disorder01:29

Theoretical Approaches to Psychological Disorder

The development of psychological disorders, which are characterized by deviant, maladaptive, and personally distressing behaviors, has been explored through several theoretical approaches.
Biological approach
The biological approach posits that internal, organic factors are the primary causes of such disorders. This perspective emphasizes brain structure and function, genetic predispositions, and neurotransmitter imbalances. For example, schizophrenia has been associated with both genetic...
Bulimia Nervosa01:30

Bulimia Nervosa

Bulimia nervosa is a complex and severe eating disorder characterized by a cyclical pattern of binge-and-purge eating pattern. It generally involves an episode of binge eating, followed by compensatory behaviors such as vomiting, excessive exercise, laxative use, or fasting, to prevent weight gain. Despite often maintaining a normal weight, individuals with bulimia are intensely preoccupied with their body image and harbor an overwhelming fear of gaining weight. This can contribute to the...

Unlike occasional overeating, binge eating disorder is marked by distressing emotions such as guilt, shame, and anxiety following binge episodes. The disorder affects individuals across different ages and backgrounds, with profound implications for physical and psychological...

Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) serves as the primary classification system for mental health disorders, providing standardized diagnostic criteria for clinicians and researchers. First published by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) in 1952, the DSM has undergone several revisions to reflect evolving psychiatric understanding. The fifth edition, DSM-5, released in 2013, introduced key updates that expanded diagnostic categories and modified diagnostic...

Borderline Personality Disorder

Borderline Personality Disorder is a complex and multifaceted mental health condition characterized by pervasive instability in interpersonal relationships, self-image, emotions, and impulse control. This instability manifests in extreme emotional reactions, fear of abandonment, and self-destructive behaviors. The disorder significantly impacts daily functioning, often leading to distress in both personal and professional domains.

Modeling in Therapy01:26

Modeling in Therapy

Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.
Participant Modeling
Participant modeling involves therapists demonstrating calm and effective behaviors in situations...

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Psychodermatology

Background:

  • Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) is a psychiatric condition often seen in aesthetic practices.
  • It involves excessive preoccupation with perceived appearance flaws, causing distress and social impairment.
  • Patients with BDD frequently seek cosmetic procedures but remain unsatisfied.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To equip plastic surgeons with methods for diagnosing Body Dysmorphic Disorder preoperatively.
  • To outline an approach for managing patients with BDD in aesthetic settings.
  • To prevent patient and surgeon disappointment by enabling timely diagnosis.

Main Methods:

  • The article details diagnostic techniques, focusing on patient interviews and clinical observation.
  • It proposes an algorithmic approach for identifying BDD preoperatively.
  • Emphasis is placed on recognizing the characteristics of BDD during patient consultations.

Main Results:

  • Timely diagnosis is crucial for addressing the needs of BDD patients appropriately.
  • Surgical interventions are ineffective in curing Body Dysmorphic Disorder.
  • Implementing diagnostic strategies can lead to better patient-surgeon alignment.

Conclusions:

  • Plastic surgeons can effectively diagnose Body Dysmorphic Disorder using specific interview and observation techniques.
  • An early and accurate diagnosis is essential for managing patient expectations.
  • Adopting a structured approach to BDD patients avoids dissatisfaction and improves outcomes.
