      abstract = {Dermatological conditions are intimately related to  stress. Stress can affect, reveal or even exacerbate a  number of skin disorders, including alopecia, seborrheic  dermatitis, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, pruritus, herpes,  lichen planus, rosacea and urticarial. On the other hand,  the skin disease itself could induce a secondary stress for  the patient, influencing his or her quality of life. There  is increasing evidence that stress influences disease  processes and contributes to inflammation through the  modulating hypothalamicpituitary- adrenal axis - releasing  neuropeptides, neurotrophins, lymphokines and other  chemical mediators from nerve endings to dermal cells. This  is one of the first books published on this topic, focusing  more on the basic science aspects of stress in  dermatopathology (oxidants, antioxidants, and oxidative  injury in dermatopathology, dermatopharmacology, and  dermatotoxicology.) Most Psychodermatology texts adopt a  practical approach to identify all types of  Psychodermatology disorders, focusing on clinical  treatment. This concise title offers a comprehensive and  didactic approach to skin diseases caused or exacerbated by  stress, as well as covers the immunology, role and effect  of stress on skin disease, and quality of life in  dermatology. In the current programs of medical residency  in dermatology, little is taught about the relationship  between stress and skin diseases and this book is an  important tool for young dermatologists and  psychodermatologists in training. .},
