Biography

David I. Mostofsky, Yngve Loyning

"...singularly important, being the first of its kind dedicated as it is to behavioral treatment opportunities for seizure control....it brings the potential power of psychological and behavioral considerations to the inescapable attention of even the most hard-nosed theoretical or applied neuroscientist. It is a book that is a must for every physician and every neurologist....highly recommended as well for psychiatry, psychology, nursing, rehabilitation, and allied health personnel and agency officers who work with epileptics and their families. The distinguished editors as well as the publisher deserve our praise and thanks for a well-produced and useful--if perhaps at times controversial and provocative--monograph."
