Product Description
Review
"Several evenings reading this book in its entirety would be time well spent." British Journal of Dermatology, Feb 1999
"Every dermatology unit should possess a copy of this book."
Dermatology in Practice, Nov 2000
"It is as comprehensive as one would expect in relevant chapters of major dermatology textbooks, with the added inclusion of practical therapeutic tips, check lists and detailed regimes.′
Australasian Journal of Dermatology, 1998
"Camisa′s new edition of the Handbook of Psoriasis will be a very useful reference for doctors treating psoriasis patients. Camisa originally published a hardcover reference book on psoriasis in the early 1990s. This is the second edition of a handbook that is designed as a companion to that original book. However, it is a complete book in its own right and a comprehensive summary of current knowledge about psoriasis and treatment of this condition in dermatological medicine. All chapters are well cross–referenced with recent literature articles, useful for a dermatologist wishing to follow up a particular direction. The book has an updated review on all conventional therapies and a final chapter on the new biological agents. Such is the pace of development with these new therapies that this final chapter almost seems dated. The chapter, however, still contains an excellent summary of the differences and similarities between these remarkable and new potential treatments for psoriasis. This book is recommended as an inexpensive addition to a dermatologist′s library, providing a well–researched update of recent literature on psoriasis."

Format:Paperback
The Handbook of Psoriasis would make an excellent addition to any Dermatologist's bookshelf. Concise and complete, this reference provides current and pertinent information on all aspects of psoriasis ranging from classification and genetics to pathology and treatment. The chapters pertaining to treatment are especially comprehensive and would definitely assist the clinician in the treatment of this often frustrating illness, regardless of their career level. I was very impressed by the discussion on the immunosuppressant and retinoid drugs. Nebulous topics in most texts, Camisa eloquently clarifies the most essential factors regarding the use of these drugs(critical information that will be valuable not only for psoriasis but other dermatological disease entities as well). A definite "keeper" of a book which I highly recommend.

Format:Paperback
I read the entire book cover to cover in one week, and I will now keep it in my clinic jacket. The content was succinct, thorough, and up to date. The writing style made reading easy, and the format will allow for quick referencing. Finally, there is an affordable, comprehensive source providing clear guidelines for treating complex psoriasis with high risk medications.

Great for Patients AND Professionals
17 Sep 2004
Format:Paperback
As a full time Phototherapist in a busy Dermatology practice, I find "The Handbook of Psoriasis; Second Edition", indispendable. After reading Dr. Camisa's book I find myself able to provide better patient care, through an increased insight into the disease that the majority of my patients suffer from. I also highly recommend this book to my patients as a tool through which they can better understand and control their conditon, as it is written in such a manner that both the professional and patient can gather valuable, useful information.

A wonderful book
10 Jun 2000
Format:Paperback
As a resident in dermatology, I can strongly recommend this book. It provides concise thorough chapters on many aspects psoriasis, including its different clinical manifestations. Perhaps of most use are the chapters on treatment which summarise very well how to use the oral immunosupressive medications, retinoids, tar, light and more. Highly recommended for 1st and 2nd years.
