Personality disorders and psychiatric symptoms in psoriasis: A critical analysis - Comment

In 1995 Rubino, et nl. reported that a cluster analysis provided evidence for four different personalities in patients with psoriasis. Because they did nor include controls with other disfiguring chronic dermatologic conditions, did not relate severity of disfigurement or chronicity of the psoriasis with personality dysfunction, and did nor assess pre- and post-onset of psoriasis personality structure, we do not think it is prudent at this time to draw conclusions about personality and psoriasis.
