Abstract
In this brief commentary, we suggest that the cognitive-behavioral treatmen t of trichotillomania is a complex but rewarding venture. We review the two case studies of hair pulling presented by Roblek, Detweiler, Fearing, and Albano (1999) and comment on an individualized, prescriptive approach to as sessment, conceptualization, and treatment. A clinical and functional analy sis that is informed by the context in which the hair-pulling behavior occu rs is espoused.
