Review
'Hair loss' is the common name for this condition, which can affect not only aging males but women and children. This title surveys the condition, new drug therapies, and current research and experimental treatments, providing new insights on a desease which causes hair to fall out.
(Midwest Book Review )The book is an excellent source of information about the disease and the roller coaster emotional ride that usually accompanies it... A pleasure to read because of its intimate style and humor. It will go a long way in helping those with alopecia areata.

Format:Hardcover
This is a very informative book dealing with the many physical and psychological aspects of alopecia areata. Treatments are discussed as well as purchasing wigs, hats, etc. Having dealt with AA for almost 3 yrs. now, I found that there wasn't a lot of information that I didn't already know. However, the book has been helpful in helping friends and family learn more about AA.
Format:Paperback
This is a fantastic book & really helped me through tough times with Alopecia Areata. Good explanation of the condiditon from somone who has also went thorugh it. The book aslo helps look at how to get through every day tasks & helped make me feel that I was not the only one with the condiditon.

Excellent, easy to read, easy to understand, inspiring
24 Aug 1999
Format:Hardcover
As a person recently diagnosed with Alopecia Universalis (all body), I found this book to be very informative, as well as easy to read and understand.
It helped me to understand that there are other people in the world with the same problem that I have.
I would strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more about alopecia.
I understand through my dermatologist that Jerry Shapiro is THE person for North America when it comes to knowing about alopecia.
I hope it helps other people the way it has helped me.

a very thorough "lay person's" textbook for dealing with AA

Good overview
24 Jan 2002
Format:Paperback
A really good overview for those newly diagnosed (or friends, family thereof). Provides sufficient information that an alopecia sufferer is unlikely to pursue quacky, expensive, ineffective treatments. Also includes psychological impacts of the condition. Skip the other books about Alopecia (I've read them all). This is the best there is.
