For anyone wishing to gain a good understanding of the factors contributing to atopic skin disease and its management, this is a most useful resource. Early chapters examine the nature of atopic eczema and factors which contribute to it. The latest thinking on approaches to treatment are covered, and the latter part of the book details a 'habit reversal' approach pioneered with much success by the authors, which contributes to an effective and lasting treatment regime. Although the title mentions practitioners, the style and content are accessible by the lay reader. The tone is friendly and positive. This book contains a great wealth of useful information which will contribute enormously to the understanding of anyone with a serious interest in atopic eczema. I recommend it very strongly.
