However, research examining experiential avoidance in individuals with body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is limited and inconsistent. The present study compared experiential avoidance in individuals with primary BDD (n= 23) to healthy controls (n= 22). Standardized measures were used to assess baseline clinical characteristics as well as experiential avoidance. Compared to healthy controls, individuals with BDD presented with significantly greater experiential avoidance (p< .001, d= -2.51). In BDD, experiential avoidance was positively correlated with depressive symptoms (p< .01) and avoidant coping strategies (p< .01). Clinician sensitivity to experiential avoidance may serve to improve the course of treatment for BDD. © 2014 Elsevier Ltd. |
