This review is from: Psychodermatology: The Psychological Impact of Skin Disorders (Paperback)

Excellent book, outlining the link between the skin and the emotions. Used this to research a literature review for counselling course. It became my most valued resource amongst many journals and texts. It was also confirming as to my own personal experiences with a child with severe AD. A must read for anyone affected personally or socially with dermatitis or other chronic illnesses.
