Psychodermatology

Abstract
A description of the history of psychodermatology and of the three phases of research conceptualization – the anecdotal phase, the methodological phase, and the present integrative phase – are given. A typical example of a psychodermatological approach towards itching and scratching is given, an example which shows that a simple, specific, recurring causal relationship between precipitating factors and reaction patterns does not exist.
