Once feared and misunderstood even among the medical community,
epilepsy has since largely been demystified. Besides the
characteristic seizures, various cognitive, behavioral, and
emotional difficulties are recognized as associated with the
condition, and patients are finding relief in medical management
and/or surgical intervention. Not surprisingly, neuropsychology has
emerged as a major component in treatment planning, program
development, and assessment of surgical candidates. Geared toward
beginning as well as veteran clinicians, the Handbook on the
Neuropsychology of Epilepsy offers readers a skills-based framework
for assessment and treatment, using current evidence and
standardized terminology. Expert coverage reviews widely-used
methods for evaluating key aspects of patient functioning (MRI,
MEG, electrocortical mapping, the Wada test), and presents
guidelines for psychotherapeutic and cognitive remediation
strategies in treating comorbid psychiatric conditions. Given the
diversity of the patient population, additional chapters spotlight
issues specific to subgroups including high- and low-functioning as
well as geriatric and pediatric patients. This integrative hands-on
approach benefits a range of practitioners across medical and
neurological settings. Topics featured in the Handbook:
Neuropsychological assessment across the lifespan. Evaluating the
epilepsy surgical candidate: methods and procedures. The Wada test:
current perspectives and applications. Assessing psychiatric and
personality disorders in the epilepsy patient. Evaluation and
management of psychogenic non-epileptic attacks. Neuropsychological
assessment with culturally diverse patients. Practical and flexible
in its coverage, the Handbook on the Neuropsychology of Epilepsy
serves not only neuropsychologists and neurologists but also
primary care physicians such as internists, family physicians, and
pediatricians.
