Dermatillomanie (pathologisches Skin Picking) ist der Name einer immer noch wenig bekannten psychischen Störung. Betroffene drücken, quetschen und kratzen exzessiv an der eigenen Haut und können trotz Wunden und Narben nicht aufhören. Tiefe Scham, Selbstabwertung und soziale Isolation sind die Folge. Spezialisierte Therapiemethoden sind rar, Erfolgsgeschichten werden selten erzählt. Dennoch kann man lernen, Skin Picking loszulassen! Davon handeln die von Ingrid Bäumer gesammelten Geschichten der Menschen in diesem Buch. Unter ihnen ist auch Angela Hartlin – die Protagonistin des Dokumentarfilms "Scars of Shame". Sie alle haben Frieden mit ihrer Haut geschlossen. Die Kommentare von Dr. Christina Gallinat ordnen die individuellen Erfahrungen in einen psychologischen Rahmen ein. Hautpflege, Selbsthilfe und Kommunikation mit Fachpersonen sind wichtige Themen für Betroffene. Ingrid Bäumer zeigt abschließend Möglichkeiten auf, aktiv zu werden. Sie stellt empfohlene Therapiemethoden vor und fasst zusammen, was bisher über ihre Erfolgsaussichten bekannt ist.
