Abstract

Background: Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is a mental health condition characterised by distress associated with perceived defects in one's physical appearance. Such defects are likely to be very slight or invisible to external observers, making it difficult for people with BDD to convey what they see.

Methods: Participants created artwork representing how they cope with BDD, then completed a follow-up interview to discuss their artwork. Framework for the Analysis of Drawings was used together with Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis.

Findings: Three overarching themes were generated from the analysis, centred around BDD's fusion with one's lifeworld, perceptual detachment, and fragmented selves.

Conclusions: We suggest incorporating artwork creation in BDD research and clinical settings may elucidate understanding of "hidden" experiences. Clinicians may find it helpful to reflect on how the distinctive BDD "way of seeing" can infuse not just specific perceptions of the body, but also the person's wider relationship to the world.

应对身体畸形障碍的视觉表征：一种多模式诠释现象学方法。

背景：躯体畸形障碍（BDD）是一种心理疾病，其特征是因认为自己的外貌存在缺陷而感到痛苦。这些缺陷很可能非常轻微，或者是外部观察者看不到的，这使得 BDD 患者很难表达他们所看到的东西：方法：参与者创作艺术作品，表现他们如何应对 BDD，然后完成后续访谈，讨论他们的艺术作品。研究使用了绘画分析框架和解释性现象学分析：分析产生了三大主题，分别围绕 BDD 与个人生活世界的融合、知觉分离和自我分裂：我们建议将艺术作品创作纳入 BDD 研究和临床环境中，这样可以加深对 "隐藏 "经历的理解。临床医生可能会发现，反思 BDD 独特的 "观察方式 "如何不仅渗透到对身体的具体感知中，还渗透到患者与世界的更广泛关系中，会有所帮助。
