Coping with Alopecia
Author: Nigel Hunt and Sue McHale, 2004

Written by two psychologists, one of whom has got alopecia, this book covers alopecia areata, totalis, universalis and androgenetic. It covers all aspects from the physical symptoms, possible causes and treatments, to the psychological impact and the possible affects on morale, relationships and work. Has the feel of a well researched work. Quite blunt at times but factual and with helpful, illustrative case studies. I found it very useful. It certainly covered all the areas of alopecia I was hoping to have explained, and dealt with them in an easy to understand non-technical way. Not for the faint-hearted, but if you can face having your worst fears graphically described it is a very honest book and a useful work of reference.....more
