Written from the unique perspective of a leading plastic surgeon with extensive experience in this area and featuring many poignant clinical vignettes and groundbreaking trauma research, this heavily-referenced text offers a new explanation for body dysmorphic disorder that provides help for therapists and surgeons and hope for patients"--
