  • Title: The "don'ts" in treating psychocutaneous disease.
    Author: Novak M.
    Journal: Cutis; 1979 Apr; 23(4):528-9. PubMed ID: 428255.
    Abstract:
    It is not difficult for the astute clinician to diagnose a psychocutaneous illness. However, the important question that arises in the mind of a sharp clinician is whether or not to confront the patient with this information, and if consultation and psychiatric treatment is warranted before the interpretation is made. Therefore, the dermatologist treating psychocutaneous illness must treat the patient as whole and must realize that certain interpretations, although obvious, must not be made to the patient when there is a great amount of psychic overlay.
