"Overall, I recommend this book for neuropsychologists who see epilepsy patients. Its use as a reference will be facilitated after an initial read of the whole book, which will also provide clinicians with a solid overview of the field... the strength of this volume lies in its brevity. I very much liked the short, half to one-page descriptions of syndromes provided in the appendix, and found myself reaching for this book more than once during the reviewprocess to familiarize myself with a specific surgical procedure or refresh my memory of a specific seizure type." -- Christian von Thomsen, Psy.D., Division of Behavioral Medicine and Clinical Psychology,Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati, OH, USA"The book Neuropsychology of Epilepsy and Epilepsy Surgery provides a fabulous overview of epilepsy and seizures that includes diagnosis, etiology, and treatment, with a focus on neuropsychological aspects of the epilepsies and their management. The book is easy to read, and includes tables that nicely summarize a wealth of information...This volume is sure to become a core reference and teaching guide for the neuropsychology of epilepsy for years to come." -- Mike R. Schoenberg, The Clinical Neuropsychologist
