PDAI Textbook of Psychodermatology is the first comprehensive textbook on psychodermatology from South Asia, published under the aegis of the Psychodermatology Association of India and organised across eight sections that run from foundations and basic mechanisms through the clinical disorders to therapeutics, research and future directions.
Seven editors and 52 expert authors from dermatology, psychiatry and clinical psychology contribute, because psychodermatologic disorders rarely conform to the boundaries of a single specialty. The stated objective is to foster a shared clinical language and an effective model of interdisciplinary care.
The clinical spectrum covers primary psychocutaneous disorders — delusional infestation, dysmorphophobia, skin picking disorder, hypochondriasis — alongside secondary and psychophysiological conditions including psychogenic pruritus, then extends to trichopsychodermatology, psychosexual disorders, cosmetic medicine and mental health, surgical and oncological psychodermatology, and the psychosocial burden of skin disease across children and families, stigmatization, coping and suicide.
