Abstract
Despite prevalence rates approaching, matching, or even exceeding those of more commonly researched disorders,1 little empirical attention has been given to understanding and developing effective treatments for trichotillomania (TTM).2 This is true despite growing evidence that TTM leads to a variety of psychosocial consequences in children and adults.3,4 This lack of attention is most obvious in the child population, because nearly all research on TTM has been conducted in adults.2 However, it is becoming increasingly clear that children and adolescents need to become the primary focus of TTM researchers.
