Digital Innovation in Body Dysmorphic Disorder Therapy: Improving Access and Understanding Mechanism

This project aims to adapt and pilot a novel digitally-enabled therapy tailored for university students with body dysmorphic disorder.

This project aims to adapt and pilot a novel digitally-enabled therapy tailored for university students with body dysmorphic disorder (BDD).

A secondary aim is to develop and test a gamified digital tool to measure behavioural avoidance, a key mechanism hypothesised to underlie BDD. This work will be foundational for developing a larger programme of research aimed at generating a step-change in care for individuals with BDD, and producing key insights into processes driving therapeutic change.
