The study examines the relationship of non-adaptive types of coping with different forms of psychosomatic skin diseases (psoriasis and atopic dermatitis). The study involved 72 women, mean age is 37 (30 – control group (NORM), 25 – patients with atopic dermatitis (AD), 17 – patients with psoriasis (PS)). Based on published data, a theoretical hypothesis is put forward that the deformation of the early symbiotic bonds of the mother and baby (and the corresponding types of relationships with the mother) leads to the formation of a second skin and is a predictor of skin diseases. Empirical data on the similarity of the symptoms of the clinical picture of the disease and various forms of symbiosis deformity are presented. These forms are described through the metaphor of the mother's gaze – "one-sided" and "distorting". It is assumed that the "one-sided gaze" is associated with blood pressure, and the "distorting" one is associated with PS. Using nonparametric statistics methods (Kruskal-Wallis test), it is proved that non-adaptive coping in the AD and PS groups corresponds to two forms of symbiosis deformation.
