Abstract

Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is a psychological disorder which can be suffered by many people in general, but often difficult to diagnose. The disorder occurs due to the inaccurate belief associated with the physical appearance. Therapy is necessary because people with BDD experience complex and life-disturbing distress. Sometimes it even leads to depression, social isolation, or suicidal tendency. Hypnotherapy is a therapy that works and performs on the individual’s subconscious mind, where belief is stored. This study aimed to understand whether hypnotherapy could reduce BDD experienced by an adolescent girl. It was a single-case study because it used only one subject. Subject was a 19-year-old adolescent girl who experienced BDD. The techniques used to replace the inaccurate belief were parts therapy, age regression therapy, and hypno-EFT. Results from this study showed that hypnotherapy was effective for reducing BDD in an adolescent girl.
