This study examines psychological treatment barriers, treatment delivery preferences and treatment histories of individuals with symptoms of BDD. Researchers measured the most frequently reported barriers to accessing psychological treatment for those with BDD, the results included: the cost of treatment (41%) and the belief that the symptoms did not warrant treatment (36%). Authors found that the preferred psychological treatment delivery was face-to-face treatment with a therapist once a week (63%), instead of accelerated or remote treatment approaches. In conclusion, there are significant barriers for those with BDD to access support, specifically CBT.
