Pediatric Psychodermatology A Clinical Manual Of Child And Adolescent Psychocutaneous Disorders by 9783110273939, 3110273934 instant download after payment.

Psychodermatology is a relatively new field in evolution and thus, there is a comparative paucity of information in general. However, when it comes to children and adolescents there is a complete vacuum of information as no other book has aimed to specifically address the psychodermatological issues facing this particular population. For assessment, diagnosis, comprehensive treatment of children with psychodermatologic conditions and establishing a relationship between skin and psyche, there is a lack of clear and relevant clinical information about these complex disorders. The complexity of these disorders is related to lack of understanding in genetic, embryonic,  physiologic, neuroimmunologic, neurocutaneous, stress-related  neuromodulation, and psychosomatic interconnections.

This book presents a clinically relevant approach to the management of psychodermatologic issues encountered in normal practice. Various  classifications and major categories that are discussed include psychophysiologic disorders, psychiatric conditions with dermatologic manifestations, dermatologic disorders predisposing to psychiatric disorders, systemic diseases with psychodermatological manifestations, and special issues in management of psychocutaneous disorders in children and adolescents.

• First book focusing on psychocutaneous issues in the pediatric population
• Covers the dermatological and psychiatric features of each topic
• Explains the diagnosis and treatment from both dermatologic and psychiatric perspective
