Psychological Approaches to Dermatology

This book makes reference to all the main skin conditions - eczema, acne, vitiligo, psoriasis, dermatitis and alopecia amongst others - and makes extensive use of case studies and vignettes. It is this blend of theory and practical experience that is the hallmark of the book. All those concerned with dermatological problems will find something of value in it and should find it a valuable addition to their resources.
