Re:EMDR and BDD

It appears as though a variety of small "t" trauma can contribute to this disorder and can be treated with EMDR. Positive reports with this population have also been published:

Brown, K.W., McGoldrick, T. & Buchanan, R. (1997). Body dysmorphic disorder: Seven cases treated with eye movement desensitization and reprocessing. Behavioural & Cognitive Psychotherapy, 25, 203-207.

Hopefully large-scale research can follow since this disorder afflicts 10% of those with social phobia and is responsible for unnecessary plastic surgeries and suicides born of needless suffering.
