Abstract

This article reflects on the attentional process of people with body dysmorphic disorder. Research antecedents were sought that mentioned results related to the evolution of the classification of the disorder, its prevalence and its relationship with the possible affectations that may occur in the attentional process. It was found that diagnosed individuals may have impairments in attentional and visual processing of face-related information. At the neurophysiological level, there is less activation of the occipital regions and the parietal cortex.
