This book analyzes and discusses in detail art therapy, a specific tool used to sustain health in affective developments, rehabilitation, motor skills and cognitive functions. Art therapy is based on the assumption that the process of making art (music, dance, painting) sparks emotions and enhances brain activity. Art therapy is used to encourage personal growth, facilitate particular brain areas or activity patterns, and improve neural connectivity. Treating neurological diseases using artistic strategies offers us a unique option for engaging brain structural networks that enhance the brain’s ability to form new connections. Based on brain plasticity, art therapy has the potential to increase our repertoire for treating neurological diseases. Neural substrates are the basis of complex emotions relative to art experiences, and involve a widespread activation of cognitive and motor systems. Accordingly, art therapy has the capacity to modulate behavior, cognition, attention andmovement. In this context, art therapy can offer effective tools for improving general well-being, quality of life and motivation in connection with neurological diseases.

Eine anschließende menschliche Überarbeitung wurde vorwiegend im Hinblick auf den Inhalt durchgeführt, sodass sich das Buch sich stilistisch von einer herkömmlichen Übersetzung unterscheidet.

The book aims to provide a timely update on a group of disorders of growing clinical and research interest. Vertigo and dizziness are far from being rare in total population and approach to them has significantly changed in the last years. This handbook reports in a practical way what has been recently published on these disorders. As a result, the neurologist will be able to acquire the tools to recognize, diagnose and treat numerous clinical pictures that often border on the expertise of ENT specialists and audiologists. The authoritative interdisciplinary working group that compiled the book intended to provide a practical and integrative view, useful in understanding and solving the problems related to these pathologies (Vestibular Migraine and related disorders) in daily practice. A part on other episodic vertigo has also been included in this handbook, as well as a part which deals with the physiology of the vestibular end organ.
