Although the basic principles of psychodermatology date back thousands of years, the formal field itself remains relatively new. This new volume examines the practical aspects of psychocutaneous medicine. It outlines the foundations of psychodermatology and provides an overview of the diagnosis and management of psychocutaneous disorders in outpatient practice. It also examines the interplay between psychiatric medications and dermatological side effects and dermatological medications and psychiatric side effects.
Nearly 50 real-world cases sourced from countries that include the United States, the United Arab Emirates, Poland, Turkey, and Tunisia illustrate psychodermatological disorders such as alopecia areata, delusional infestation, dermatitis artefacta, and more and help emphasize the effects of local culture and geographical influences on the presentation of each distinct disorder. Also included are a wealth of clinical photographs that serve to augment the understanding of specific psychodermatology cases.
Whether they are psychiatrists, dermatologists, residents, or midlevel providers, readers will find the information they need to confidently diagnose and manage psychocutaneous disorders in Clinical Psychodermatology.
