Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Trichotillomania: A Randomized Controlled Trial of Adults and Adolescents
Overview
This randomized controlled trial evaluates acceptance and commitment therapy as a standalone intervention for adults and adolescents with trichotillomania. The study reports significant reductions in symptom severity and daily hair-pulling frequency among participants who completed the 10-session protocol. It also notes a decrease in psychological flexibility scores, though this change did not reach statistical significance.
