Insight and Body Dysmorphic Disorder Michael A. Tompkins, Ph.D. Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is characterized by excessive preoccupation with an imagined defect in appearance which results in significant distress and impairment in social, occupational, and other important areas of functioning. Take the middle-aged attorney with BDD who was convinced that his lips were too thin. This troubled him on dates, at professional and social occasions and, most distressing of all, in the courtroom. He was convinced that his thin lips meant to jurors that he was unscrupulous, mean-spirited and untrustworthy. Because of his BDD, the attorney had stopped litigating and his income had dropped significantly. He was afraid to go out with friends or on dates and spent most evenings at home, alone and depressed. 50-60% of individuals with BDD exhibit poor or no insight. By insight I mean the ability of a person to recognize that his view of his appearance is inaccurate. For example, an older woman with BDD was distressed about the size of her nose. I concluded she had poor insight when, in response to my question about how it was that yesterday she had said her nose was fine but today she said it was too large. She answered, "My nose changed since yesterday." We know that the degree of insight an individual with BDD has is an important predictor of treatment outcome (poor insight often means poor outcome). The poor outcome may be largely due to the individual’s inability to say to himself at least at times, "Well, maybe my view of myself is distorted." Without this ability to step back a bit, the individual is not capable of making good use of cognitive-behavioral interventions for his BDD.
