Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (ComB)

ComB is an evidence-based approach for the treatment of BFRBs, such as skin-picking (excoriation) and hair-pulling (trichotillomania). Treatment begins with evaluation of the individual’s particular variables affecting their BFRB. Through recognition and then interruption of behavior patterns, change is created and carefully chosen healthier options substitute for the BFRB’s functions.
