Synopsis

Deep Brain Stimulation is an invaluable resource that presents an exhaustive review of scientific DBS literature and integrates it with cutting-edge practice approaches for working with neurological and psychiatric disorders. The book takes the reader through the interdisciplinary care team model including DBS candidate selection and the crucial role of the neuropsychological evaluation in DBS surgical decision-making, along with post-operative care management considerations and alternative therapies. The book provides a detailed roadmap for understanding the cognitive and psychiatric risks and benefits of DBS surgery and it details approaches to enhance clinical outcomes. It is a must-have resource for anyone working with DBS candidate populations.
