The mother-child bond and the proximity-distance conflict in patients with psoriasis. Anu. investig. [online]. 2015, vol.22, n.2, pp.271-280. ISSN 1851-1686.
Introduction: The inner proximity-distance conflict in patients with chronic skin diseases has been recently described by leading authors. Objective: to evaluate the proximity-distance conflict in a sample of psoriasis patients. Methods: Affective Distance test was applied in order to evaluate the characteristics of the child mother bond in 96 persons with psoriasis. Results: While an extraordinary adhesion to the physician is observed in some patients, in others, an abrupt detachment tendency, or wandering from doctor to doctor are found. As Psychoanalysts we think these behaviors as expressions of unconscious fantasies and defense mechanisms that arise in response to childhood´s vital experiences. Conclusion: The proximity-distance conlict would be related in most cases to a cold mother experience, or a compelling mother, and that experience would determine behavior that then would be manifested in the doctor-patient relationship and in the way the pat ient copes with his/her illness.
