Three developmentally normal adolescents with chronic hair pulling were treated with a simplified habit reversal procedure consisting of awareness training, competing response training, and social support. Treatment resulted in an immediate reduction to near-zero levels of hair pulling, with one to three booster sessions required to maintain these levels. The results were maintained from 18 to 27 weeks posttreatment, although 1 participant reported difficulty at follow-up. The effectiveness of simplified habit reversal and suggestions for future research are discussed.
三名发育正常的慢性拔毛青少年接受了一种简化的习惯逆转程序治疗,该程序包括意识训练、对抗反应训练和社会支持。治疗使拔毛行为立即减少到接近零的水平,需要一到三次强化治疗来维持这些水平。治疗后18至27周结果得以维持,尽管有一名参与者在随访时报告有困难。本文讨论了简化习惯逆转的有效性以及对未来研究的建议。
