This workshop will focus on Acceptance-Enhanced Behavior Therapy (AEBT) as an effective treatment for trichotillomania. AEBT has been supported by many clinical trials with adults and adolescents when used in person, via video conferencing, or as a web-based treatment. It is also used across countries. There is a publicly available treatment manual that therapists and clients may follow as they learn to implement AEBT (Woods and Twohig, 2023).
Participants will learn how to diagnose trichotillomania and be aware of common clinical presentations. They will also learn how to use standard psychological assessments commonly used in the treatment of trichotillomania. The workshop will provide an in-depth understanding of the theoretical basis and principles of Stimulus Control, Habit Reversal, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Participants will learn how to apply ACT principles to help clients manage difficult emotions and thoughts that can trigger hair-pulling behavior. The workshop will also address common clinical issues that occur in the treatment of trichotillomania, such as resistance to treatment, relapse, and lack of motivation. Participants will learn how to implement strategies to overcome these obstacles and promote long-term recovery.
Overall, this workshop will equip participants with the knowledge and skills needed to provide effective treatment for trichotillomania using Acceptance-Enhanced Behavior Therapy. Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of trichotillomania, evidence-based interventions, and strategies for promoting long-term recovery.
This live interactive webinar is intended for behavioral health professionals, including Psychologists, Social Workers, Counselors, and MFT’s.
