“…Psoriasisde damgalanma iyi bilinen bir özelliktir. Farklı ülkelerde gerçekleştirilen çok sayıda çalışma psoriasisli hastalarda belirgin bir damgalanmanın varlığına işaret etmektedir [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] . Damgalanmanın bir diğer boyutu olan içselleştirilmiş damgalanma; bireyin toplum tarafından oluşturulan hastalıkla ilgili olumsuz kalıp yargıları kabullenmesi ve değersizlik, utanç gibi duygulanımlarla kendisini toplumdan geri çekmesidir 11 .…”

“…Indeed, Lu et al [13] found that about 80 percent of patients with psoriasis and atopic eczema felt stigmatized by others because of their skin disease at least once, 30 percent of which severely. The experience of stigmatization is one of the strongest determinants of perceived restrictions in everyday life [14,15] and can lead to decreased self-confidence and feelings of shame.

Abstract:The impact of dermatological conditions on a patient's life is frequently underestimated. Patients with skin conditions experience several physical complaints, including itch, pain and fatigue. Furthermore, in comparison to the general population, patients report a decreased psychological well-being, lowered quality of life and feelings of stigmatization and shame. Psychological treatments are widely used in addition to regular dermatological treatments to improve physical and psychological functioning of patients with chronic skin conditions. These treatments are usually aimed at changing the psychosocial factors that can influence the onset and/or course of skin conditions, such as dysfunctional coping behaviors, itch-scratching problems and stress. There are unimodal interventions in which single treatments are used, for example psychoeducation or relaxation exercises, and multimodal treatments in which a variety of different interventions are applied based on cognitive-behavioral therapy and self-management principles. Furthermore, a distinction can be made between interventions that focus primarily on skin-related psychosocial problems, interventions that focus on itch-scratching problems, and interventions that are focused on psychiatric problems in the dermatological practice. This chapter gives an overview on the psychosocial factors relevant for dermatological conditions, relevant diagnostic methods and the content and scientific evidence of specific psychological treatments in these different categories.
