pubmed:abstractText |
Two groups of people with psoriasis attended a short series of meetings conducted by a clinical psychologist. During these sessions the patients were given the opportunity to discuss between themselves problems created by their skin complaint and they were taught specific relaxation techniques for use whenever they felt under stress. Psychological tests showed that the participants were a noticeably anxious group compared to the general population. However, their levels of anxiety were significantly reduced by the end of the study. There was also a modest trend towards physical improvement. No such changes were seen in a matched control group.
