Product Description
Separating truth from myth can be hard when it comes to skin problems. Apart from medical advice, there seems to be a puzzling array of creams and potions, herbal remedies and alternative treatments. Understanding Skin Problems helps sufferers maximise the benefits of advice, from whatever source, so that they can learn to live with their condition more easily. Written from a psychological perspective, Linda Papadopoulos and Carl Walker show that, although seldom life-threatening, skin diseases can be very distressing for both sufferers and their families. As a source of information or just as general interest, this handy guide will help you to understand the importance of the mind-body connection, and how it can help in dermatology. |

Bravo! by pam st clements (ashgabat)  5 Stars
September 08, 2004
A stunning text that delivers the scientific insight expected from a Dr Walker publication. The revelation here though, and in essence what separates this book from others, is the development of the scientist (and one time 'enfant terrible' of Psychology!) as a story teller. One hesitates to use the word genius - a term all too frequently applied in these celebrity obsessed times - but history will certainly look upon this title very favourably.
If you only read one dermatology self help book this year, then make sure that it's this one!

Fast paced,exiting, heart stopping page turning book by Richard Starkey (Liverpool, UK) 5 Stars
July 28, 2004
I read this book within a matter of days, it's perfect for the beach or if your pennies don't stretch that far then you should read it with a box of chocolates and a glass of wine within easy reach. You will not be able to think about anything else until you have finished it, and even then thoughts will keep popping into your head.
About the best book Dr Walker has ever written. This will always be his classic masterpiece, his epitaph even.
