A substantial body of research has demonstrated the challenges commonly facing people with visible differences (disfigurements) and explored the potential benefits offered by specialist psychosocial support and intervention for those who are negatively affected. However, little is known about the availability of such support in Europe for people whose appearance is in any way different to 'the norm'. This survey of 116 psychosocial specialists from 15 European countries, working with a range of patient groups, has shown a tendency for specialists to prioritise Cognitive-behavioural-based approaches, amongst a wide range of other approaches and interventional techniques. It indicates variations in the availability of support, and a perceived need for improved access to interventions, additional training, and greater awareness of the psychosocial issues associated with visible differences.
大量研究表明，有明显身体差异（畸形）的人通常会面临各种挑战，并探讨了为那些受负面影响的人提供专业心理社会支持和干预的潜在好处。然而，对于那些外表与“常态”有所不同的人，在欧洲，人们对这种支持的可及性知之甚少。这项针对来自 15 个欧洲国家的 116 名从事各种患者群体工作的心理社会专家的调查显示，专家倾向于将认知行为为基础的方法作为优先事项，同时也采用了其他广泛的方法和干预技术。调查表明，支持的可及性存在差异，人们认为需要更好地获得干预、额外的培训以及提高对与可见差异相关的心理社会问题的认识。
