“The purpose is to provide a comprehensive resource on all aspects of pruritus (etiology, pathophysiology, neural pathways, and medications). The audience is dermatologists. … Our current understanding and research on pruritus is presented in this meaty reference. For those of us who love knowing the intricacies of molecular pathways, this book will be relished.” (Patricia Wong, Doody's Book Reviews, November, 2016)
