Psychodermatology
Psychodermatology covers all aspects of how the mind and body interact in relation
to the onset and progression of various skin disorders. This book is the first text
written by a multidisciplinary team of psychiatrists, psychologists, child specialists
and dermatologists for all the health professionals who treat patients with skin prob-
lems. They cover a broad range of issues affecting these patients, including: stigma,
coping, relationships, psychological treatments, the impact on children, psychosocial
comorbidity, psychoneuroimmunology, quality of life and psychological treatments.
