Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
Dermatology has made remarkable strides in recent decades, with the advent of high-tech aids such as lasers and cryosurgery and new wonder drugs such as steroids and vitamin A derivatives; thus, many skin sufferers have been cured by their physicians.

Yet many have not. If you have brought your persistent eczema, your stubborn warts, your psoriasis or other distressing skin ailment, or even your recurrent herpes to specialists and superspecialists, and if all the creams, lotions, and medications have failed to help, you must wonder if there is something else -- and ardently hope that there is. This is exactly what Drs. Grossbart and Sherman have addressed in Skin Deep: A Mind/Body Program for Healthy Skin.

unique book of this kind August 20, 2009

I was glad to start my understanding of mind/body/skin relationship with this easy to read and still scientific grounded book. This book talks about different skin conditions.

A Bunch of Hype August 30, 2007

If you think you feel bad with eczema, just wait until you read this book! As a life long sufferer from this chronic skin ailment, with episodes coming and going, I am currently suffering from one of the worst episodes I've ever experienced. This book would make any sufferer feel even worse, if they didn't have a good basic core knowledge of the disease and it's symptoms. The authors would have you think that the patient's lack of loving parenting is the cause of your problem, among other of their "causes". The fact that this could not be further from the truth automatically debunks the rest of the "helpful" information in this tome of trival! While relaxation therapies and being aware of one's self are excellent advices no matter what the ailment, to place the blame on the patient's problems on the patient is like blaming a baby for contracting cancer. These authors should be ashamed of themselves. It's true - some people will do anything to see their names in print and sell a few books. Sure wish I would have checked this book out at the library rather than wasting good money on a bunch of hogwash!

A factor in a new direction for my life July 5, 2007

I checked this book out from the library when I had the most horrible eczema outbreak of my life: sores up and down my arms and legs, peeling of the skin three layers down on my hands. My doctors were useless.

This book was a part of a turning point for my life - reading what it had to say about the psychological origins of skin conditions prompted me to take action that improved my life on all levels.

I was extremely pleased with content and recommendations in Skin Deep. The author is knowledgeable of a variety of skin conditions and their resulting emotional attachments or reactions. For the person needing relief, there is such with numerous relaxation strategies that are actually helpful and can get you started Day 1. I highly recommend this book.

Great Self Help Book March 9, 2006
Mark Uiterhoeve (Eindhoven, the Netherlands)
5 out of 6 found this review helpful

Great Self Helf Book which gives you wonderful insights into the emotional factors of your condition. Let's suppose skin conditions are partially genetical, partially caused by wrong food intake, partially caused by external conditions (wheather, dust mites, etc...) and partially caused by emotional/stress factors (some say ALL skin conditions are caused by inner anger). I suggest you take an integral approach to treat your condition and optimize your food intake and do whatever you can about external conditions. This will take the balance of your condition into the right direction. The next step is to explore the emotional/stress factors of your skin condition. That is what this book is great for!

What advantages and safeties does your condition give you? What is the condition doing for you? Why are YOU affected? Why THERE and why NOW? This book provides great methods (a comprehensive list of most common needs the skin is trying to acquire via its condition; great excercises in self-knowledge; creating a Time Line to effectively understand why your skin condition is worse or better at particular moments; why particular places at your body are affected; what it does for you (what safeties and advantages); and let's you think about what if it got better or worse) to explore the emotional cause of your skin condition. This is the first step and understanding will already bring you towards curing of your skin condition! The next part of the book gives techniques to get yourself into a healing state which will give the next boost towards healing. It also outlines what professional help can do for you.

I eventually embraced a hypnotherapist into my healing process. My own condition is moving towards complete recovery (full body eczema). This book is a must read if you want to be cured!
