Reviews for Seizures and Epilepsy in Children: A Comprehensive Guide

A helpful book . . . Discusses most concerns that parents of children with epilepsy have. --Washington Post Combines a detailed description of the medical nature and treatment of epilepsy in children with an extensive discussion of the psychological aspects as well . . . Optimistic in tone and broad in scope, this is a book for the parent who has a lot of detailed questions. --National Spokesman I have been involved with the epilepsy cause for twenty-three years and I can only say that I have wanted a book like this for a long time. To my knowledge, this is the first book combining complete scientific accuracy with a caregiver's compassion and understanding. --James A. Autry, former chairman of the board, Epilepsy Foundation The book is rich in substance and detail. There is a warm, compassionate tone. At the same time, there are no-nonsense facts and figures. The authors achieve two important objectives: providing up-to-date information and conveying a sense of optimism and hope. --Humane Medicine This remarkable book has been empowering parents with vital information, and the new edition promises to do the same. It is committed to making parents active partners in their children's care and will be a vital resource for families everywhere. --Eric R. Hargis, President/CEO, Epilepsy Foundation
