Living with a rare genetic disorder like Pachyonychia Congenita (PC) can be an overwhelming journey, often accompanied by physical discomfort, social challenges, and psychological hurdles. The unique complexities of PC affect not only the physical body but also deeply influence an individual’s mental health and quality of life. This book, Psychological Support by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Pachyonychia Congenita, aims to provide an accessible guide to navigating these challenges using evidence-based techniques grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT has long been recognized as a highly effective approach for managing a wide range of psychological conditions, and its adaptability makes it uniquely suitable for chronic genetic conditions. By understanding the intricate links between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, individuals with PC can build resilience, develop coping mechanisms, and find greater balance in the face of life’s challenges. This book also addresses the reality of chronic pain management, stigma, and the emotional weight of living with a rare condition, emphasizing the need for practical and personalized therapeutic strategies. With sections dedicated to the fundamentals of genetics, congenital conditions, and epigenetics, we aim to demystify the science behind PC, providing readers with a solid foundation upon which to understand their own experiences. Further, specific CBT tools are explored to address issues like social isolation, fear of the future, and the desire for independence. Psychological Support by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Pachyonychia Congenita is written for both individuals living with PC and the healthcare professionals, family members, and caregivers who support them. My hope is that this book serves not only as a source of knowledge but also as a companion in the journey toward psychological resilience, self-compassion, and, ultimately, a life lived fully despite the obstacles.

Parents bring their children to pediatrician for common pediatric problems and ask for opinion on coexisting skin problems (secondary complaint) or they come with primary dermatological problems. Very few pediatricians work in dermatology OPD or wards during their training in pediatrics and hence are not able to handle dermatological complaints when they set up their practice. When faced with such a problem, there is a tendency to prescribe ointments containing antibacterial, antifungal agents, and steroids. Such a polytherapeutic approach may have disastrous consequences. Moreover, some of the dermatological conditions in children are different from those in adults. In this era of sub-specialization, general pediatricians who offer primary care to children must be knowledgeable in pediatric dermatological problems. Since 20–30% of cases in pediatric practice have dermatological problems, there is a need for a book on "Pediatric Dermatology" keeping in view the specific problems encountered in Indian subcontinent. Clinical Pediatric Dermatology is primarily meant for beginners in pediatric dermatology and pediatricians. This book has been written keeping in view the interests of both. The main purpose of this book is to educate pediatricians and dermatologists who take care of young ones with pediatric dermatoses. - A clinically oriented book for beginners in pediatric dermatology. - Develops key learning skills to manage pediatric dermatoses. - Builds clear cut concepts in pediatric dermatology. - Focuses on common pediatric dermatoses seen in India.

Troublesome Disguises examines psychiatric conditions which are not necessarily uncommon, rare or exotic but are challenging for the clinician who may struggle to reach a diagnosis and to set up management strategies. However, with familiarity, these conditions can and should be recognised. This new edition is an exercise in consciousness-raising as well as a warning to beware of diagnostic systems which, despite their many virtues, may become too influential and may perpetuate errors which are to the detriment of patients. For the clinician struggling to understand and treat patients who fail to fit the usual diagnostic categories, Troublesome Disguises provides wise instruction in the virtue of entertaining doubts, as well as practical advice for the assessment and management of atypical cases.
