In addition to epilepsy neuropsychological assessment issues, the book provides an overview of the known cognitive effects of seizures as well as the adaptive, emotional, and psychiatric consequences of epilepsy including a chapter on psychogenic nonepileptic seizures. Diagnostic tests, such as EEG and structural neuroimaging, are described and the leading treatment options are detailed with a chapter on pharmacologic therapies which reviews the known cognitive and behaivoral side effects of specific antiepileptic drugs. Many of the more rare epilepsy disorders have been included in the appendices for quick and easy reference. The book also details the role of neuropsychology within the epilepsy surgery process including pre\/post surgery cognitive evaluations, cortical stimulation mapping, functional neuroi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"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 review process 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.
