Trained in both dermatology and psychoanalysis, the author is well-prepared to integrate in logical and scientific fashion, psychosomatic concepts relating to dermatology, psychiatry, and the basic sciences. The first section of the text discusses underlying principles of emotional and physical factors in psychosomatic skin disease. Specific chapters address the importance of the skin as an organ of perception in early childhood and the contribution of that perception to the development of body image and self-esteem. A history of psychosomatic disease and a description of somatizatiph processes are presented. A summary of necessary psychiatric information for the patient with psychocutaneous disease and steps for formulating an appropriate treatment plan are also provided for the reader. The second section presents the clinical application of these principles and includes chapters on dermatitis artefacta; delusion, and hallucinations as they relate to skin including the dysmorphic syndrome; the psychogenic pain syndromes; compulsive habits; and obsessional concerns involving the skin. Other chapters focus on urticarias, generalized and localized pruritus, flushing reactions and rosacea, psychogenic disorders of the sweat glands, atopic dermatitis, and psoriasis. Carefully organized, clinical chapters present pertinent information on clinical conditions, step-by-step descriptions of management, rationale for modes of interaction, and disease course and prognosis. This text will be an invaluable source for dermatologists, specialists in psychosomatics and liaison psychiatry, family practitioners, pediatricians, internists, general psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, and medical students.
