Media Interviews, Talks, and Books

Books (selected)

I was delighted to edit a book on ‘Optimizing Evidence-Based Treatment for Body Dysmorphic Disorder‘ (Springer Nature) alongside my colleague Jennifer Greenberg, PsyD. This book is geared toward clinicians who work with BDD. It integrates the latest research and clinical wisdom from leading experts globally, to cover both foundational elements and nuanced considerations of treating BDD and its variants.

I was also thrilled to contribute a chapter on evidence-based treatments for OCD with Sabine Wilhelm, PhD, in Ken Duckworth’s excellent book, ‘You are Not Alone: The NAMI Guide to Navigating Mental Health.’
