I dedicate this book to my father and mother, Reginaldo and Aparecida França, who have encouraged and guided me in my professional and personal evolution. I dedicate this book to the rest of my lovely family. I am very fortunate to have you all. I dedicate this book to my patients, professors, mentors and friends. Thank you for the inspiration and support. Katlein França I dedicate this book to Professor Bryan H. King, for his support and encouragement in my interest in Psychodermatology during my fellowship training at University of Washington Seattle Children’s Hospital.

They have been my inspiration and motivation for continuing to pursue my passion towards Psychodermatology. Mohammad Jafferany
