Psychological treatment  

Treatments include  cognitive-behavioral therapy  , acceptance-enhanced
behavior therapy,  [3]  [6]  and  acceptance and commitment therapy

(ACT).  [26]

Several studies have shown that habit reversal training associated with
awareness training reduces skin-picking behavior in those individuals with
excoriation disorder that do not have psychological problems.  [8]  Habit
reversal training includes awareness enhancement and competing response
training.  [8]  For example, in one study the competing response training
required participants to make a closed fist for one minute instead of picking
or in response to a condition that usually provokes picking behavior.  [8]  In
a recent study of participants (n = 113) diagnosed with ED, less than 50%
followed through with an appointment to Psychiatry.  [27]  In an absence of
longitudinal data which follows patients with Psychiatric referrals as a
result of ED, little is known for the reasons patients do not follow through
with the referral, or what more is needed to ensure access to care. Overall,
less than 25% of participants in this study achieved long term results,
highlighting the need for a collaborative team approach to treatment across
several disciplines to include PCP, dermatology, psychology and psychiatry as
needed.

Treatment  

Knowledge about effective treatments for excoriation disorder is sparse,
despite the prevalence of the condition.  [8]  [5]  There are two major
classes of therapy for excoriation disorder: pharmacological and behavioral.
[3]  [5]

Individuals with excoriation disorder often do not seek treatment for their
condition, largely due to feelings of embarrassment, alienation, lack of
awareness, or belief that the condition cannot be treated. One study found
that only 45% of individuals with excoriation disorder ever sought treatment,
and only 19% ever received dermatological treatment. Another study found that
only 30% of individuals with this disorder sought treatment.  [3]

Developmentally disabled  

Several different behavioral interventions have been tested to treat
excoriation disorder in those with developmental disabilities.  [ _ citation
needed   _ ]

One method is to have individuals wear a form of protective clothing that
limits the ability of the patient to pick at their body, e.g., gloves or face
mask.  [8]

Other behavioral treatments attempt to change behavior by providing different
incentives. Under Differential Reinforcement of Other Behavior (DRO), a
patient is rewarded if able to abstain from the picking behavior for a certain
amount of time.  [8]  In contrast to DRO, Differential Reinforcement of
Incompatible Behavior (DRI) rewards an individual for engaging in an
alternative behavior that cannot physically occur at the same time as the
problem behavior (e.g. sitting on your hands instead of picking at your skin).
[8]  Lastly, differential reinforcement of alternative behavior rewards
behavior that is not necessarily incompatible with the target behavior but
serves the same function as the target behavior (e.g., providing people with a
competing behavior to occupy their time instead of skin picking).  [8]

All of these techniques have been reported to have some success in small
studies, but none has been tested in large enough populations to provide
definitive evidence of their effectiveness.  [8]
History  

The first known mention of excoriation disorder in the print can be found in
1898 by the French dermatologist  Louis-Anne-Jean Brocq  , describing an adolescent female patient
who had uncontrolled picking of acne.  [3]  [33]

On 15 November 2011, the  Hong Kong College of Psychiatrists
 , as a licensing body of professional psychiatrists in Hong
Kong, published an announcement stating that homosexuality is not an illness
and there is no scientifically proven evidence to support the attempts to
change one's sexual orientation.  [94]  Until February 2012, the announcement
has not been uploaded onto the college's website or published in any
professional journals; it is, however, available in electronic pdf format upon
request. The  Hong Kong College of Psychiatrists
 is the very first professional authority in Asia that
explicitly and publicly opined their professional standing on issues regarding
homosexuality and treatments altering one's sexual orientation.  [95]

In April 2002, White House officials held an unannounced briefing in April for

allowing death benefits to be paid to  domestic partners

In 1993, former legislator  Anna Wu  proposed an
Equal Opportunities Bill through a  private member's bill
 to outlaw
discrimination on a variety of grounds, including sex, disability, age, race,
and sexuality. Her effort didn't yield any result until 1995 when equal
opportunities law was enacted. However, sexuality was not included in the
passage of the bill.  [54]  [55]  [56]

In December 1917, after the  October Revolution  , the  Russian Soviet Republic
 (later the Russian SFSR) decriminalised
homosexuality.  [11]  However, the  Soviet Union  under  Joseph Stalin  would
later recriminalise sex between men in March 1934 with the addition of Article
154-a to the Soviet criminal code, which punished consensual anal sex between
men with three to five years' imprisonment.  [12]  The revised criminal code
of 1961 continued to classify sexual relations between men as a crime,
relocating it to Article 121 and providing for only a maximum of five years'
imprisonment for consensual sex.  [13]  Western observers estimated that,
during the Soviet era, between 800 and 1000 men were imprisoned per year under
Article 121.  [14]  After the  dissolution of the Soviet Union
 ,
homosexual acts between consenting males were re-legalised in 1993 (they had
not been criminalised for women), removing Article 121 from the RSFSR penal
code.  [1]

In December 1993, Clinton implemented a Department of Defense directive known
as "  Don't Ask, Don't Tell  ", which allowed  gay men and women  to serve in the armed services provided they kept their
sexuality a secret, and forbade the military from inquiring about an
individual's sexual orientation.  [388]  The policy was developed as a
compromise after Clinton's proposal to allow gays to serve openly in the
military met with staunch opposition from prominent congressional Republicans
and Democrats, including Senators  John McCain  (R-AZ) and  Sam Nunn  (D-GA). According
to  David Mixner  , Clinton's support for
the compromise led to a heated dispute with Vice President Al Gore, who felt
that "the President should lift the ban ... even though [his executive order]
