Editorial Reviews

The expanded edition of Phillips's book delves further into body dysmorphic disorder, an obsession with an imagined physical abnormality. With today's emphasis on physical appearance and the lengths to wthich many go to alter theirs, this book remains timely. Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.

Library Journal

"If one thinks that BDD might simply be a new age coinage for vanity, Phillips...makes a convincing case for taking a second look by drawing on years of clinical practice, research, and patient interviews."—Book News
