Abstract:
Rubino and Zanna (5) have responded to our comments (1) on their report (4) on the association of personality disorders with psoriasis and have presented data comparing the personality characteristics of psoriasis patients with those in urticaria patients. The problems that remain with their methodology are that dental controls may not be equivalent to dermatologic conditions, and in the urticaria study, no data on premorbid functioning were provided to differentiate state vs trait phenomena, and they did not control for duration of illness.
