"The authors should be recognized for their comprehensive approach to the topic, which goes so far as to include a detailed discussion of topical agents including current therapies and those in Phase 2 and 3 animal studies. The authors pay particular attention to the practical utility of PUVA and UVB therapy (including home therapy) and carefully inform the generalist of the applicability of such treatments. A succinct explanation of the traditional therapies follows complete with tables elucidating adverse effects, drug-drug interactions and lab parameters to guide therapy. Both experts in dermatologic conditions, as well as general primary care practitioners will benefit from the information presented in Psoriasis, Second Edition. The authors have an astute command of the psoriasis domain and thus, this book is highly recommended general readers and specialists."James S. Studdiford, Thomas Jefferson University, USA
