ABSTRACT

Overemphasis on appearance and strong appearance stereotypes to date are expected to contribute to the challenges and distress of people who live with skin conditions and those with appearance distress. Skin conditions are highly prevalent and are often associated with high levels of distress and disruption in the life and well-being of patients. On the other hand, demand for cosmetic procedures and elective plastic surgery has been increasing. Psychological interventions in the field of skin and appearance rarely feature person centred approaches. We intend to fill this gap by: Juxtaposing symptom-based and person centred conceptualisations; Presenting person centred ways of working therapeutically of skin and appearance related concerns and Discussing potential challenges in application of the approach in this field.

摘要

迄今为止，过分强调外表和强烈的外表刻板印象预计将给患有皮肤病和外表困扰的人们带来挑战和痛苦。皮肤病非常普遍，并且常常给患者的生活和福祉带来严重的痛苦和破坏。另一方面，整容手术和选择性整形手术的需求一直在增加。皮肤和外表领域的心理干预很少采用以人为本的方法。我们打算通过以下方式填补这一空白： 将基于症状的概念和以人为中心的概念并置；提出以人为本的皮肤和外观相关问题的治疗方法，并讨论该方法在该领域应用的潜在挑战。
