Anxiety, Aggression, and Body Ideal in Adult Atopic Dermatitis Patients

“…Patients with psoriasis showed less ability to express anger than the participants without a skin condition; however, they did not differ significantly in terms of other personality characteristics such as locus of control or depression. Similarly, Linnet and Jemec found a significant positive relationship between anger and trait anxiety in patients with atopic dermatitis. Not surprisingly, anger and body image concerns were significant predictors for managing anxiety in this sample.…”

“…Previously, the KAPP has been used in psychosomatic research (ulcerative colitis, [11]; adult atopic dermatitis [12]), in personality disorder research (personality change after brain injury [13]); in borderline and organic personality disorder [14], in psychotherapy research [15][16][17][18]; and in substance abuse research [19,20]. Only one previous study has, however, examined the KAPP profile of patients with eating disorders [21], and the sample size in that study was quite small (n = 16) and consisted of both patients with AN (n = 7) and BN (n = 9).…”

“…Other aspects, however, like the role of the skin in regulating closeness and distance, are not assessed by these tests. Up to now, standardized psychological questionnaires have usually been used in clinical studies [Fritzsche et al, 2001;Linnet and Jemec, 2001]. Deep-psychologically orientated test procedures have scarcely been used or their conception is very complicated [Freni et al, 2001].…”
