Abstract
The present study examines some of the beliefs about trichotillomania such as those concerning the sex and age of afflicted individuals. Information was gathered from an exhaustive literature review and surveys of the general public and college students. Data on such factors as prevalence, sex, age distribution, onset, codiagnosis, and details of the hair-pulling act are presented, and reviews of explanations and treatment are provided.
