Article Abstract
Using experimental-psychological methods, the characteristics of the disease awareness were studied in 25 patients with psoriasis and neurodermatitis. The structure of the disease awareness was found to be strongly dependent on the degree of the cosmetic defect: in patients with a marked defect, the emotional and motivational levels occupy the leading position in the structure of the disease awareness, whereas in patients with a mild cosmetic defect, the sensitive level is predominant.
