Trichotillomania (TTM) is a complex disorder that poses significant challenges in treatment, with limited effective therapeutic options available. This client workbook, designed to guide individuals through the 10-session therapist-led Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) Enhanced Behavior Therapy for Trichotillomania (AEBT-T), aims to provide support and facilitate recovery. AEBT-T is specifically tailored to help individuals with trichotillomania reduce their pulling behavior, explore the underlying internal experiences that trigger their pulling, and learn to lead more valued and fulfilling lives.

The approach combines traditional behavior therapy techniques, such as habit reversal training and stimulus control, with a contemporary ACT-based framework. ACT-based therapy teaches clients to respond flexibly and in alignment with their values whenever they encounter uncomfortable thoughts, feelings, urges, and cravings that often lead to pulling. Since its original publication in 2008, AEBT-T has demonstrated remarkable effectiveness, proving to be a valuable resource for older children and adolescents as well.

In this updated edition, the intervention has been thoroughly revised to reflect the latest research findings. Organized in a user-friendly session-by-session format, accompanied by therapy support forms and materials, AEBT-T offers a comprehensive and practical approach to managing TTM and reducing pulling. Its proven efficacy makes it a valuable tool for clients seeking to learn effective strategies for managing their condition and improving their overall well-being.
