Body Dysmorphic Disorder Symptom Scale (BDD-SS)

Le résumé fourni par la source

The 54-item Body Dysmorphic Disorder Symptom Scale (BDD-SS; Wilhelm et al., 2013) is a comprehensive, self-report measure that assesses the presence and severity of cognitive and behavioral symptoms associated with body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). The BDD-SS can be administered online or in person to adolescents and adults and is free for use in clinical and research settings. This chapter outlines the development of the BDD-SS, highlighting its creation to address the need for a self-report tool that captures the heterogeneous symptoms of BDD. The BDD-SS has demonstrated moderate reliability (α = .75-.83) and convergent validity with other BDD-related measures, such as the BDD-YBOCS. Although factor structure and invariance have not yet been established, the BDD-SS has proven useful for identifying specific symptom profiles and treatment targets. This chapter provides the complete set of BDD-SS items, instructions for administration, the item response scale, and scoring procedures. Logistics of use, including permissions, copyright, and contact information, are also included for users.
