Quo vadis DSM-6? An expert survey on the classification, diagnosis, and differential diagnosis of body-focused repetitive behaviors
The survey supports the usefulness of the BFRBD diagnostic entity. However, some criteria require further refinement. Future editions of the DSM should more explicitly delineate which conditions qualify as BFRB. Furthermore, it is important to give more attention to the primary motivation behind BFRB to distinguish it from NSSI and potentially from stereotypic movement behavior.
