title: [The effect of stress and personality structure on the onset and severity of the clinical picture of psoriasis].
abstract: On a sample of 38 psoriatic patients we tried to determine the relationship between neurotic disorders (operationalized MMPI) and the number and hazardous effects of stressful events on the one hand and the severity of the clinical picture and the time of the onset of psoriasis on the other. In our sample neurotic disorders are much commoner than in the general population indicating that they might represent one of the most significant factor of etiology, complications and prevention. The last hypothesis is based on the results showing that neurotic psoriatics develop psoriasis significantly later than non-neurotics. We haven't attained a profile of a typical neurotic person because neurotic disorders are manifested through different symptoms. The average number of stressful events was found significantly higher in more severe forms of psoriasis compared to the milder forms. Finally, a remark has been made about benefits of a multidisciplinary approach to the study of psoriasis and the inclusion of psychotherapy in the treatment of psoriatic patients.
