Exposure and Ritual Prevention Therapy for Trichotillomania: Two Case Reports
Abstract
Article AbstractBecause this piece does not have an abstract, we have provided for your benefit the first 3 sentences of the full text.To the Editor: Trichotillomania is an often debilitating psychiatric condition characterized by recurrent pulling out of one's own hair, leading to hair loss and marked functional impairment. Current behavioral therapies do not help everyone with trichotillomania, and relapse is frequent; thus, more treatment options are needed.We report 2 cases of trichotillomania responding to a brief, 4-component approach based on the conceptualization that hair-pulling is maintained by negative reinforcement similar to compulsions associated with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
