Psychocutaneous Diseases: A Clinical Dermatological Approach
Editat de Domenico Bonamonte, Gianni Angelini, Iria Neri, Anna Belloni Fortina, Luca Stingenien Limba Engleză Hardback – 11 ian 2025
În lucrarea Psychocutaneous Diseases, descoperim o abordare clinică riguroasă a unei zone de intersecție medicală adesea disputată: granița dintre patologia cutanată și tulburările psihiatrice. Considerăm că această ediție din 2025 reușește să clarifice terminologia și clasificarea afecțiunilor auto-induse, punând accent pe diagnosticul diferențial între simularea conștientă — motivată de beneficii externe precum obținerea concediilor medicale sau a gradelor de invaliditate — și patomimie, unde leziunile apar ca o somatizare involuntară a unor psihoze sau tulburări de personalitate.
Structura volumului reflectă o progresie logică de la mecanismele interacțiunii psihic-piele către managementul specific al tulburărilor auto-provocate. Găsim în această carte secțiuni detaliate despre dermatitele artificiale, excoriațiile compulsive și ticsurile recunoscute de pacient, dar și o perspectivă rară asupra tulburărilor factice „prin procură”. Editorii, printre care se numără Domenico Bonamonte și Gianni Angelini, integrează expertiza medico-legală pentru a sprijini clinicienii în evaluarea corectă a intenționalității din spatele leziunilor.
Această lucrare continuă standardul de rigoare vizuală stabilit de Domenico Bonamonte în volume anterioare precum Aquatic Dermatology sau Clinical Contact Dermatitis, utilizând cele 80 de ilustrații color pentru a evidenția semnele clinice care trebuie să ridice suspiciunea de artefact. Clinicienii care folosesc Handbook of Psychodermatology ca referință vor găsi aici o completare esențială în ceea ce privește distincția fină dintre motivațiile intrinseci și cele extrinseci, oferind un cadru terapeutic adaptat nevoilor specifice ale pacienților cu patologii auto-induse.

Despre autor
Domenico Bonamonte este un editor și autor de renume în domeniul dermatologiei, afiliat la prestigioase instituții medicale italiene. Expertiza sa acoperă o gamă largă de specialități, de la dermatologia ocupațională și de contact, reflectată în lucrarea Clinical Contact Dermatitis, până la nișe complexe precum infecțiile micobacteriene și dermatologia acvatică. În Psychocutaneous Diseases, Bonamonte colaborează cu specialiști precum Gianni Angelini și Iria Neri pentru a aduce o perspectivă dermatologică asupra psihosomaticii, menținând un echilibru între rigoarea diagnostică și înțelegerea profundă a mecanismelor psihologice subiacente.
Descriere scurtă
Artificial dermatitis are self-induced diseases caused by various means and for diverse purposes. Illness can be mimicked with unlawful purposes, or to take advantage of professional situations (obtaining extension of illness, recognition of the condition as an occupational disease, reaching a higher class of invalidity). In these cases, the simulators are aware of their own action and its purposes. Conversely, there are cases of self-induced dermatitis dictated by psychiatric problems, such as psychosis, intellectual disability and personality disorders. Intrinsic motivation of such lesions is different: patient intends to draw attention, reacts to difficult environmental situations by involuntary somatization of the skin. Skin artifacts of illicit intent are true "simulations", while the lesions caused unconsciously by subjects with psychological disorders are "pathomimies". In addition to the groups of true simulation and “pathomimia”, another group of self-provoked dermatoses is due to coercive habits (excoriations, tics) in conscious subjects who recognize the urgency of a self-harming action. Psychocutaneous Diseases leaves room to the clinic features and motivations of artifacts, both perpetuated on oneself and on other people ("by proxy" factitious disorders). The topic is completed by the addition of chapters by psychiatric specialists, in order to address pathogenetic problems and therapeutic guidelines, as well as contributions that integrate the approach with medico-legal expertise.
This unique work will support diagnosis by dermatologists, but also psychiatrists, psychologists, internists, forensic doctors and general practitioners.
