Addtionally, culture-specific pathways were observed in the way parental mental health and parenting were expressed. Situational (e.g., overcrowding) and relational factors (e.g., spousal dynamics) modulated both of these pathways. Biases in the research included the over-representation of specific protracted refugee situations, overreliance on self-reported data, and a heavy focus on mothers while neglecting fathers and other caregivers.

However, the American Psychiatric Association did not combine these conditions into a single category, body-focused repetitive behavior disorders (BFRBDs), until the fifth edition of the DSM (2013). Several aspects of the disorder remain uncertain and controversial. For example, ongoing debate surrounds which specific conditions fall under this diagnostic category and how to best differentiate BFRBs from conditions such as nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI). The current article presents results from a survey of experts' opinions on diagnostic criteria, with the goal of refining the diagnostic criteria.</div></div><div><h3>Method</h3><div>We contacted experts on BFRB via various sources and invited them to complete an online survey on the phenomenology, classification, and differential diagnosis of BFRB.

Mixed results emerged for awake bruxism and thumb sucking in adults. Only a minority regarded night bruxism and knuckle cracking as BFRB. To differentiate BFRB from NSSI, the experts noted that the motive behind the urge (self-harm/injury versus release of tension) should be considered.
