Abstract
During the period from 1979 to 1985, 22 patients with the primary forms of neurotic excoriations (NE) accepted referral to the author. Twenty of them completed a psychotherapy program which was eclectic in form and allowed for individual weighting of its single elements. At the follow‐up, on average after 5 years, valid evidence was found of a positive effect of goal‐directed psychotherapy in NE patients.Keywords
