Psychodermatology, also referred to as psychocutaneous medicine, lies at the intersection of two medical specialties: psychiatry and dermatology. A primarily psychiatric condition can present with dermatologic symptoms, and many dermatologic conditions have profound psychological impacts. In Clinical Psychodermatology: From Diagnosis to Therapy, the compiled case reports have been organized into central themes: general principles (chapters 1-3), psychosis-spectrum disorders (chapters 4 and 11), impulse control disorders (chapters 5, 6, 7, and 9), and anxiety- and mood-associated disorders (chapters 8, 10, 11, and 12).
