  • Integration of mind-body interactions and psychological assessment tools.

    • Main Results:

    • Psychodermatology involves two levels: implicit psychotherapeutic effects in consultations and specialized psychotherapy. Enhanced communication skills improve the first level.
    • The psychodermatological patient often exhibits alexithymia, requires understanding of non-verbal cues, and may have a history of loss and separation anxiety.
    • Effective practice necessitates integrating psychological insights, adapting to patient needs, and utilizing specific psychological evaluation tools.
    • A collaborative approach involving dermatologists and psychotherapists is crucial for managing complex cases.

    Conclusions:

    • The European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (EADV) and the European Society for Dermatology and Psychiatry (ESDaP) are positioned to offer specialized education in psychodermatology.
    • Future recognition of psychodermatological abilities and treatments at governmental and European political levels is anticipated.
    • This field requires a multidisciplinary approach, combining dermatological expertise with psychotherapeutic training.
