We would like to thank our publishers and editors at Cambridge University Press, particularly Pauline Graham and Betty Fulford for their continued support, encouragement and feedback throughout the development of this book. We have valued our contact with the Acne Support Group and the UK Vitiligo Society and particularly with Ms Maxine Whitton, a patient and professional whose inspirational spirit and priceless energy and commitment continue to directly and indirectly benefit psychodermatology patients the world over. Finally, we would like to thank the patients and their families that have given their time to take part in our research over the years. In a field where it can be particularly difficult to expose themselves to the research process, their time, energy and bravery have allowed researchers and professionals alike to create a body of work which will help the population of skin disease patients as a whole.
