Treatment begins with taking a detail history of the disorder and its effects and inquiring about possible comorbid conditions. There is no established effective treatment approach in a large controlled trial.[3] Various therapeutic modalities which have been considered include:[3],[4] (a) Supportive psychotherapy, (b) Directive and autogenic training. (c) Behavior therapy which involves various techniques-self monitoring; coping strategies; motivation enhancement; awareness training; competing response; relaxation training. (d) Hypnotic therapy, (e) Psychotherapy and (f) Pharmacotherapy.
Obviously all the non medicals require specialized training.
For children with acute trichotillomania identification of stressful episodes (with the help of patients parents) with accompanying support and parent education is usually all that is necessary. Elucidation of the stress and corrective counseling (about the common psychological factors) usually relieve the problem.[4] Encourage child to transfer plucking tie to hairs of a fuzzy stuffed animal and consider child psychologist if parent child relationship is disturbed. Prescribe clomipramine when necessary
