ABSTRACT

Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is characterised by a distressing preoccupation with perceived defects or flaws in one’s appearance. BDD most typically emerges in adolescence and is estimated to affect 2.2% of the UK adolescent population. There is a dearth of research into children’s and young people’s lived experiences of BDD, particularly in relation to educational contexts. Using Constructivist Grounded Theory methodology, interview data from 10 young people between the ages of 16 and 25 were analysed for this study. Findings informed the development of a psychological model of BDD in young people: The Shame-Identity Model of BDD in Young People. This paper focuses on the educational aspects within this model. Implications for educational professionals are discussed.

摘要

身体畸形症（BDD）的特征是令人担忧的注意力集中在一个人的外表缺陷或缺陷上。BDD最典型地出现在青春期，据估计影响英国2.2％的青少年人口。缺乏对儿童和年轻人关于BDD的生活经验的研究，特别是在教育背景方面。使用建构主义扎根理论方法，本研究分析了10位年龄在16至25岁之间的年轻人的访谈数据。研究结果为青少年BDD的心理模型的发展提供了信息：青少年BDD的羞耻-身份模型。本文重点关注该模型中的教育方面。讨论了对教育专业人员的影响。
