Visible relations between skin and psychism: a psychoanalytical approach

This article approaches the study of skin illnesses in their relational aspects. To achieve that, we walk the path of ego building, focusing on the relational aspect imminently present, through the theories of Winnicott, Anzieu and McDougall. We approach the relational construction of the ego that occurs by the way of the body, on which the first affective records are printed, particularly discussing the skin as a relational organ.
