[Evaluation of inpatient psychotherapeutic-dermatologic treatment of neurodermatitis patients].

In a psychosomatic clinic an in-patient therapy-model for psychosomatic skin disorders was developed, conjoining psychoanalytic oriented psychotherapy with dermatologic standard therapy. The effects of this therapy are evaluated with standardized questionnaires in 40 patients with atopic dermatitis. Whereas changes concerning symptoms and depression occur in the course of the in-patient treatment, other personality changes cannot be found out before one-year follow-up questioning. All together the results of this study indicate that the combined treatment technique proves to be satisfactory.
