Abstract

The chapter has presented a frame of reference with which to approach adolescent patients with skin disease. To be most effective, the physician must understand the complexities of adolescent development and the various biological, social, and psychological circumstances and reactions with which young people must cope. Suggestions are made regarding approaches to the management of the adolescent skin patient, in the wish to maximize the usefulness of the physician--patient relationship as a resource for helping young people to health and happiness.
