title: [Inpatient behavioral medicine in chronic skin diseases].
abstract: Behavioral medicine is a newer approach in the management of various diseases. In the last years, special programs have been developed for atopic dermatitis, psoriasis vulgaris and other chronic skin diseases. An increase in the patient's self-control could be achieved by optimizing the patient's skills in dealing with their skin disease. The article summarizes the principles and procedures of in-patient behavioral medicine, especially the strategies employed by dermatological training groups and psychotherapeutical groups to help the patient deal with their skin disorder.
