    The concept of altered perception in “body dysmorphic disorder”: The subtle border between the abuse of selfies in social networks and cosmetic surgery, between socially accepted dysfunctionality and the pathological condition

    Giulio Perrotta*

    The present work focuses on the general concept of impaired perception in body dismorphic disorder, to then extend the clinical reflections also on some social phenomena of the last generations such as the massive use of cosmetic surgery practices and the selfie trend (or “selfitis”), shifting the centrality of the discourse on the subtle boundary between the dysfunctionality of socially accepted behavior and the well-known pathological diagnosis.
