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.

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.

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 discusion 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.
Rated by buyers -
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.
