Abstract

The purpose of this research is to establish the connection between alexithymia, which is the inability to identify and express emotions, and dermatological diseases. Individuals with alexithymia have a restricted emotional understanding combined with an impaired capacity to communicate feelings which often results in psychosomatic diseases. The research involved 40 patients with skin diseases (eczema, psoriasis, urticaria, and vitiligo) who were enrolled from dermatology clinics in Batna, Algeria during the period OctoberDec 2024.

Urgent Regarding ISSN Update

Announcement Date: April 20, 2021

Dear Authors and Researchers,
We would like to inform you that the U.S. ISSN Center at the Library of Congress has confirmed that the correct ISSN number of the Journal Psychology and Education is ISSN 1553-6939. This ISSN is to be used instead of ISSN 0033-3077 which is the ISSN that belongs to the former title, “Psychology.” Each time a journal undergoes a major change of title a new ISSN is assigned. Psychology and Education also has been assigned a Linking ISSN (ISSN-L). The ISSN-L is available for use when there is a need to identify and link to a continuing resource without regard to format, for example in services such as OpenURL, library catalogues, search engines or knowledge bases. The next issue of Psychology and Education will be published with ISSN 1553-6969. But the previous ISSN will be also available in the ISSN Portal to retrieve the record for Psychology because it remains the identifier for the former title Psychology and the articles published under that title.
