Currently, more and more attention of both
researchers and clinicians is focused on the relationship
between the skin and the mind. The above connections can be
regarded as a good example of the intimate association between
our physical and mental health. What is more, ubiquitous, in
contemporary world, stress is thought to exert its effects on
immunomodulatory responses of the organism. Moreover, nowadays
the majority of clinical studies employ psychological assessment
of the patients into holistic evaluation of the skin disease.
So, the aim of Advances in psycho-immuno-dermatological research
session is to present updated information on both research
findings and clinical psychodermatological issues by bridging
both laboratory and clinical aspects, that will be delivered by
world known experts in the field, who are not restricted to
single organization membership.
