Emotional or sociocultural factors of influence have dramatically changed the morbidity, pathogenetic understanding of causality, and therapy concepts in dermatology over the past decades; the relationship between the skin and the psyche or between the psyche and the skin is being given increasing attention.
There is a circular and complementary relationship between the skin and the psyche that becomes more evident during mental or skin disease. Not only is the skin part of the perception, but it is also a relational organ. The understanding of this multilevel relationship will help physicians understand the psychic and skin changes during disease.
This book is dedicated to such relationships. The picture atlas offers the morphologically trained dermatologist a summarizing presentation of diseases in psychosomatic dermatology for the first time.
The objective of this publication is to depict the relationships between skin diseases and psychiatric disorders to make the diagnostic vantage point for such disorders more clear. This affects, for example, the systematization of body dysmorphic changes, factitious disorder patients, little-known borderline disorders, and special psychosomatic dermatoses that have received little attention to date. Patients with skin or hair diseases that are rather insignificant from an objective point of view, such as diffuse effluvium, can endure great subjective suffering.
The present clinical atlas should help physicians recognize masked emotional disorders more quickly in patients with skin diseases and thus initiate adequate therapies promptly. This informative textbook has been admirably written by authors with much experience in the area of psychosomatic disorders in dermatology and venereology, and it provides many insights and aids from a psychosomatic perspective that, for various reasons, were not infrequently all but ignored.
This publication can be recommended to all doctors working in the areas of practical dermatology and psychosomatics, since it deals not only with the diseased skin but takes into account the suffering human in his or her physical and emotional entirety.
