The objective of this study was the investigation of behaviors classified as Body Dysmorphic Disorder and the contingencies of its development and maintenance. A descriptive exploratory study was done using the interviews with seven patients and their families to raise some hypothesis based on the theoretical principles of Radical Behaviorism. Checking the supposed defect in the mirror; camouflage rituals; social avoidance; depressive behaviors; obsessive-compulsive behaviors and delusions was found. Their life history indicated a coercive education, great emphasis on beauty, restrictive social interactions, accidents and commentary on parts of the body by others and many plastic surgeries. Under the specific stimulus control like his own alleged defect and the regard of others, many participants’ classes of behavior had the function of escape/avoidance and was negatively reinforced, preventing participants from exposing themselves to others and being criticized. Some behaviors were described as experiential avoidance, as they had the function of avoiding their private aversive condition bringing some major consequences in social, personal and occupational areas.Downloads

1. A pre-print (or original submission) is the author’s version of the article before peer-review has taken place. Prior to acceptance for publication, author(s) retain the right to make a Pre-Print of their article available: on their own personal, self-maintained website; or on a legally compliant pre-print server (e.g., PsyArXiv, arXiv). Once the article has been published, the author(s) should update their acknowledgement and provide a link to the definitive version on RBTCC’s website, adding a text such as: “This is a pre-print of an article published in the Brazilian Journal of Behavioral and Cognitive Therapy. The final authenticated version is available online at: https://doi.org/[insert DOI]”. RBTCC encourages posting of preprints of manuscripts on preprint servers, authors’ or institutional websites, and open communications between researchers whether on community preprint servers or preprint commenting platforms. Posting of preprints is not considered prior publication and will not jeopardize consideration from RBTCC. Authors should disclose details of preprint posting - including DOI and licensing terms - upon submission of the manuscript or at any other point during consideration at RBTCC publication process.
2. An accepted manuscript is the version accepted for publication in RBTCC following peer review but prior to copyediting and typesetting that can be made available under the following conditions:
(i) on their own personal, self-maintained website immediately on acceptance,
(ii) for public release, 12 months after first publication (i.e., "Embargo Period"), on any of the following: their employer’s internal website; their institutional and/or funder repositories. Accepted manuscripts may also be deposited in such repositories immediately on acceptance, provided that they are not made publicly available until after the Embargo Period.
An acknowledgement in the following form should be included with a link to the published version on the publisher’s website: “This is a post-peer-review, pre-copyedit version of an article published in the Brazilian Journal of Behavioral and Cognitive Therapy. The final authenticated version is available online at: http://dx.doi.org/[insert DOI]”.
3. The final published (PDF) version is the copy-edited and typeset RBTCC’s PDF, the same version published on the journal’s website. It can be archived in institutional or funder repositories and can be made publicly accessible immediately.
