5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent handbook for people with psoriasis ..., Oct 23 1996

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Conquering Psoriasis (Paperback)

This is a small handbook for psoriasis patients, using language that any high school graduate can understand. Numerous illustrations and case summaries help explain what psoriasis is, how it is triggered, and how it can be treated. Each chapter concludes with a list of "Facts to Remember" that highlights do1s and dont1s for the patient. Especially notable is the concluding chapter, "It's Up To You," which encourages the reader to take a pro-active role in controlling the disease. Also notable is the chapter on "Total Care," which emphasizes the importance of each patient1s general health and lifestyle as they relate to his or her psoriasis. As one who has struggled with psoriasis for 35 years, I am especially glad to have so much valuable information summarized in one small book. Even more important, I believe, is the overall message: that we patients are capable of understanding the basics of psoriasis, and with optimism and persistance, can do a great deal to help ourselves. Dermatologists should present this book to every psoriasis patient over 12 years of age, especially in this era of managed care. Three minutes with the doctor and another prescription simply cannot provide the information and encouragement that are so important to psoriasis patients.
