Reviews

Written by associates of the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions who are also board members of the Epilepsy Foundation of America, this professional guide seeks to dispel fears and myths concerning epilepsy, as well as to help parents better understand the nature of seizures, the diagnosis, and ongoing therapy. The book builds on a tradition of comprehensive care for children with epilepsy and their families begun at Hopkins in the 1930s. Recommended for health sciences collections and public libraries with a demand for this kind of material.
