This was an exciting project to work on, and I attempted to obtain
a broad sampling of current research on the neuropsychology of
epilepsy. Because the emphasis of the book takes a
neuropsychological perspective on epilepsy, the coverage is not
redundant with previous texts on this topic. The book is organized
around three themes, although individual chapters certainly often
extend beyond the part in which they are located. The three major
topics are the nature of epilepsy, cognitive and emotional
consequences of epilepsy, and treatment approaches to epilepsy and
outcome. In Part I, following a historical overview of epilepsy in
Chapter 1 by Sandra D. Haynes and me, Gerald C. McIntosh presents a
conceptualization of the epilepsies from a neurologist's
perspective. The characteristics of seizure types are discussed,
and the etiology of secondary epilepsies is described. Epileptic
syndromes are considered. McIntosh outlines clinical seizure
patterns associated with seizures originating from different
cortical regions.
