In a world preoccupied with appearance, diet and looking young it is hardly surprising that body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is on the increase. This disabling condition comes in many forms and Dr Phillips captures the stories from sufferers of BDD in a powerful and moving way. This second edition expands on both the disorder and its treatment. Her latest research involves evaluations of more than 500 people with the disorder and incorporates illustrations of their experience and how BDD has impacted on them and their families’ lives.
