title: [Indications for psychosomatically-oriented dermatologic rehabilitation].
abstract: Dermatological rehabilitation treatment can take different forms: climato-therapy, baths, phototherapy and psychosomatic treatments. Which of these treatments is of most benefit to any one patient depends on his or her illness. Accordingly, a psychosomatic approach to dermatological illness is indicated mainly when a psychological disorder and a dermatological disease coincide. In addition, dermatoses with psychological triggers or overlays, and also depression, pre-existing emotional disorders and special motivation for psychotherapy should be considered for psychosomatic treatment. Finally, patients who are having trouble accepting or confronting malignant skin tumours may also benefit.
