Summary
Evans [pseudonym] is a 13-year-old Caucasian female who presented to the child and adolescent psychiatry clinic with her mother with a complaint of hair pulling. Miss Evans reports that the feeling of fur or hairs under her nails and on the tips of her fingers is “comforting”; she denies increased anxiety if she is unable to find a way to comfort herself (if, for example, the stuffed animal was not around or there were no eyebrow hairs to pull).
