Dr. Phillips has done pioneering scientific research on body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), a common and severe disorder. Dr. Phillips has published more than 320 scientific articles, review articles, letters, and book chapters. To disseminate her research findings on BDD, she has also written books and lectures extensively in the US and abroad.
She has also conducted scientific research on obsessive-compulsive disorder, olfactory reference syndrome, and other disorders.
For more than 25 years, my scientific research has focused primarily on body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), a common and severe disorder that causes marked impairment in social and occupational/academic functioning and is associated with high rates of suicidality. I have also conducted studies focusing on obsessive-compulsive disorder, olfactory reference syndrome, and other psychiatric disorders.
When I started my research on BDD, virtually no systematic scientific research had been done on this underrecognized disorder, and thus very little was known about it. Because BDD causes so much suffering, my career has focused on discovering and advancing knowledge about this condition. The first major focus of my scientific research was to elucidate BDD's clinical features, such as BDD symptoms, suicidality, insight, co-occurring disorders, and impairment in psychosocial functioning, which created the foundation for future scientific inquiry. Because BDD-focused measures were not available, I developed and validated widely used BDD screening, diagnostic, severity, and insight measures for use by both researchers and clinicians. Effective treatments for BDD had not been identified, and thus a major focus of my work has been the identification, development, and testing of effective treatments for BDD, both psychotherapeutic and pharmacologic. I have also studied BDD's relationship to other disorders (such as obsessive-compulsive disorder and social anxiety disorder), its prevalence, and the course of BDD over time. I have additionally collaborated on neuroimaging, molecular genetics, and neuropsychological studies of BDD. A majority of my scientific publications focus primarily on BDD.
The overall goal of my past and ongoing work has been to better understand BDD and to develop effective treatments for BDD, an underrecognized and often debilitating disorder. I hope that this work, in turn, will alleviate the profound suffering and impairment that this condition so often causes.
