title: Psychiatry and the skin.
abstract: Many patients with emotional, psychological and frank psychiatric problems present in disguise to the dermatologist. It is important that the dermatologist recognizes such patients and institutes appropriate therapy. A liaison clinic is particularly helpful in the management of more difficult patients, such as those with delusional disease or profound depression.
