Dr. Brenners knowledge of all the different factors that may contribute to my husbands skinpicking has been extremely helpful to us in dealing with this problem. His empathy, experience and sense of humor have been invaluable in helping us all not only to cope but to support and guide toward recovery. Im also grateful for the bfrb.org site which helped me to find him.
