“This book, written and edited by ‘clinicians for
clinicians’ is an outstanding contribution to the neuropsychiatric literature
and, at this point, is the essential reference for anyone who wants to learn
about the psychiatric complications of epilepsy. … This is a wonderful and
informative book on the neuropsychiatric complications of epilepsy and, at this
point, the standard on this topic. It contains the most up-to-date information
on the neuropsychiatry of epilepsy.” (Michael Joel Schrift, Doody’s Book
