The social worker's interview in chronic urticaria.
Ten patients with chronic urticaria were interviewed by a psychiatric social worker as part of the clinical examination. The information obtained was evaluated in comparison with the allergist-internist's history by the allergist-internist, psychiatrist and social workers. The social worker's interview offered relatively little help to the managing physician or patient in this setting.
