Winnicott interprets that human existence is essentially psycho-somatic and the development, in relation with the emotional maturation, will be possible essentially by the relation of dependence and the environmental action. For the infant, initially, there is no such thing as the non-self reality and, in regard to the healthy development, the environmental care will lead to the integration process and the distinction of the internal/external and ultimately between me/not-me. This phenomenon may have the skin as the recognition agent of a limiting membrane as a sensitive bond between the inside and the outside. In this paper, we defend the thesis that the symptoms of psycho-somatic diseases, specifically skin diseases, may have its genesis in potential environmental failures that occurred in early phases of the baby?s emotional development, which goal is to achieve some sort of integration. This research aims to describe the various types of integration that would occur in a healthy maturation, to explain that the psycho-somatic diseases can be understood as attempts of integration. The general comprehension of the psycho-somatic disorders made it possible to analyze the several moments in which Winnicott refers to skin diseases and to a profound study of both psycho-somatic illness and its psycho-affective dynamics related specifically to skin diseases. / O objetivo desta pesquisa de natureza te?rica ? o estudo do processo de integra??o psico-som?tica, em especial no que se refere ? compreens?o das doen?as de pele, bem como sua rela??o com as falhas ambientais que podem ocorrer no processo de amadurecimento pessoal. Para Winnicott, a exist?ncia humana ? psico-som?tica e seu desenvolvimento, em termos do amadurecimento afetivo, ser? possibilitado fundamentalmente pela rela??o de depend?ncia e pela a??o do ambiente. Inicialmente, para o beb?, n?o existe uma realidade n?o-self e, em rela??o ao desenvolvimento na sa?de, os cuidados ambientais levar?o ? integra??o com a diferencia??o interno/externo e entre eu/n?o-eu. Este fen?meno pode ter a pele como o reconhecimento de uma membrana limitadora entre o fora e o dentro. Defende-se, neste trabalho, que os sintomas das doen?as psico-som?ticas relacionadas ? pele t?m sua g?nese em poss?veis falhas ambientais que aconteceram em momentos precoces do desenvolvimento afetivo do beb?, cujo objetivo ? alcan?ar um tipo de integra??o. Ao mostrar os diversos tipos de integra??o que ocorreriam num amadurecimento saud?vel, explicita-se que as doen?as psico-som?ticas podem ser entendidas como tentativas de integra??o. Com tal compreens?o geral dos dist?rbios psicossom?ticos, analisam-se os diversos momentos em que Winnicott se refere ?s doen?as da pele, aprofundando tanto a compreens?o das doen?as psico-som?ticas quanto as din?micas psico-afetivas relacionadas especificamente ?s doen?as de pele.
