PSYCHODERMATOLOGY-THE LINK BETWEEN THE PSYCHE AND THE SKIN
Author: Assoc. Prof. Dr. Razvigor Darlenski

Psychodermatology, a relatively new discipline on the boundary between psychiatry and dermatology, focuses on the neuropsychologic aspects of skin diseases as well as on the skin manifestations of certain psychopatological conditions such as trichotillomania, parasitophobia, venerophobia, and bromhidrosis. It comprises the practice of treating skin disorders using psychological and psychiatric techniques. The aim of this talk is to discuss some novel practical aspects of psychodermatology.
