The emergence and above all the formalisation of the notion of "quality of life" in medical, and especially dermatological, culture is more than just a passing fad. It reflects a fundamental shift in the relations between dermatologists and their patients.
This is because patients' expectations have changed considerably. They are no longer just seeking temporary relief, but the ability to live a normal life again. They are also demanding improved well-being through cosmetology and plastic surgery.
The concept of "quality of life" shows that the notion of suffering has also changed. We suffer less and less from pain, but more and more from the disturbances and constraints imposed by illness in comparison to social norms.
Dermatologists were among the first medical practitioners to fully take account of the suffering connected with the highly visible nature of the conditions they deal with, even though these may be benign.
Publication of this book therefore represents a decisive step forward in the history of dermatology.
