Trichotillomania (compulsive hair pulling) has a prevalence rate of 1%, making it a noteworthy disorder. Despite the high number of up to 800,000 affected individuals, there is currently very little German-language literature on this condition. As a result, those affected often suffer in silence, not knowing how they can be helped. Therapists frequently find themselves at a loss when it comes to trichotillomania due to the lack of therapeutic guidelines. This guide aims to fundamentally change that by providing answers to all questions regarding trichotillomania. The book clearly describes the causes and manifestations of the disorder, as well as practical treatment options. It also addresses the specifics of trichotillomania in children, offers support for relatives, and discusses self-help strategies. Personal accounts from affected individuals and tips from a hairdresser complete the offerings.
