Use of Psychology Urged in Trea ting Adolescent Acne By DELOS SMITH United Press Science Editor NEW YORK (UP) Since the demeaning ailment o( the adoles cent, acne vulgaris (better known as "pimples") is not consistently curable by any known medication, physicians now are urged to rely heavily if not exclusively on treat ment by psychology. The urging comes from Dr. Douglas Powers who as physician at the Sampson Air Force Base, Geneva, N.Y., has been having a lot of experience with adolescents. A psychological element in acne vulgaris is well known to medical men but Powers gave -it much more than the usual stress. "We have observed repeatedly that if a boy or girl afflicted with acne is shown that someone is genuinely interested, not only in almost see the tension disappear and the individual become more comfortable. It seems to be of the utmost importance to establish an atmosphere of freedom in which the acne patient can discuss his innermost feelings and problems. After this is accomplished, we can see fairly soon an improvement in his skin condition, as well as in his over all functioning, even though the choice of medication varies widely." By his discreet reference to "the choice of medication," he was telling doctors what they al ready knew that acne is extreme ly difficult to treat successfully, so difficult that some doctors sus his skin ailment, but in him as a whole person, he will eagerly dis cuss his anxieties and concerns," he said in a report to the Medical Society of the State of New York. Obvious Progress "Through this process one can pect that no treatment really works and when the acne clears up, it clears up on its own. Dr, Powers called his ideas "psycho logic management" rather than psychologic treatment or cure.

Yet he has to "belong" and to be "ac cepted." Because a "clear skin is neces sary to "belong," the adolescent with acne is at a disadvantage. .

He will be derided by other adolescents, "thereby in creasing his discomfort and forc ing him into deeper isolation." The doctor who would treat acne successfully should show the ado lescent that he, the doctor, recog nizes the youth's value as an indi vidual and help him to discard his feelings of guilt and -unworthi-ness," said Powers.
