Abstract

Patients with atopic dermatitis, an intractable disease, suffer uncontrollable psychological distress as well as various symptoms in their skin. Recent findings showed that mental factors such as stress may play a role in the disease and that some techniques for alleviating psychological problems were efficacious in the atopic dermatitis. Therefore, we proposed the mind-body medicine that has been used to decrease the negative influences of stress and to cure psychosomatic disorders as an additional remedy for the atopic dermatitis. A model on the therapeutic effect of mind-body medicine and some qualities of practician also were discussed.

아토피 피부염은 그 증상이 심각하고 그와 더불어 환자의 심리적 상태도 통제할 수 없을 정도로 황폐화되는 난치성 질환이다. 최근 연구보고들에 따르면 이 질환에 스트레스와 같은 심리적 요인이 중요하게 작용하며, 심리적 문제를 치료하는데 사용되는 기법들이 이 질환에도 유효하게 작용한다고 한다. 따라서 여기에서는 심리적 스트레스를 완화시켜 다양한 정신신체질환을 예방하고 치료하기 위한 목적으로 널리 사용되는 심신의학 프로그램을 아토피 질환의 추가적 치료 수단으로 제안하였다. 또한 심신의학 프로그램 의 치료 효과 모형과 치료자가 갖추어야 할 요건에 대해서도 논의하였다.
