Reviews

The book is clearly written with illustrative case studies, so that it should be accessible to residents and general neurologists. ... This relatively slim volume does a good job of presenting the complexity of addressing behavioral, emotional, and cognitive disorders that coexist with many different neurological diseases. (Lawrence W. Brown, Doody's Book Review, November, 2018)
